Restoration of a wooden chair

[luckystrike]

I have an old solid wood chair that is approximately 35 years old. It came from a school, and was used day in and day out. It is in quite good condition, but needs a good clean down and then freshly polished to bring it back to its former glory. However, I have no idea where to start! Any tips on which products to use and what to do will be most welcome.

It all depends on the condition. It might just need cleaning down with a solution of water and vinegar, leave to dry and then re-varnish OR if it's got scratches on it'll need to be sanded down to the wood then re-varnished.
