Ron, admittedly removing Winchester wood is easier than removing Parker wood but, I wouldn't recommend cleaning the wood without removing the wood from the frame first. Since the laundry room was adjacent to the workbench we chose Woolite as the mildest SOAP available. Johnsons Baby shampoo or a dish washing soap without any detergents maybe a better choice, however, do not mix water with the soap you choose as that will raise the grain where the finish is worn away. Since you already committed to Timberlux I would wait a year and if you are still dissatisfied make a choice on your next approach.
