Funny, I have never used bleach on any of our wood. If you want to get
off the dust, using a shop vac with a brush attachment works best.

You guys ever heard of a 'Tack cloth'?

Putting water onto wood that you are going to try and put a finish on is
not a good idea, especially in a humid climate.

Water on wood, great way to undo all that sanding and raise the grain,
doesn't anybody hear do any cabinet work?

I only use water after the first coat of finish has dried.
