Default Wood furniture cleaner?

I have a lot of old/antique furniture that needs some serious cleaning, dirt, smoke, body oils.

I don't want to refinish the pieces but clean off the grunge then do a little scratch and stain touch ups.

Any good products out there?

I use Murphy's oil soap to clean finished wood. We have light oak cabinets in the kitchen and the doors get lanolin on them from being touched with hands due to they have no handles, and you put your fingers on the edge of the doors to open them they get dirty.

Old English scratch cover for touchup is what I use after cleaning the surfaces.

My mother always used Murphy's Oil Soap. Although it all depends on how grimey they are. A guy I know has an antique furnature restoration shop and he uses mineral spirits.

TSP. Then you can do your repairs, then do a once over with a good wax.
