How do you clean your wood kitchen table?

I have a good friend who had extra granite and her husband made a GORGEOUS table for their kitchen. She just sprays it down with Method Daily Granite Cleaner (thank you JShain for this fabulous suggestion).

I have a very old round oak table…it was one of the first things I bought out of college (at a used furniture store…guess I should add that to the thrift store thread). The first thing I did was put a coat of polyurethane on the top. I lightly sanded it because it had some nice distress marks (it was about 50 years old when I bought it). It is the table in our kitchen and looks exactly the same as when we bought it 40 years ago despite going through the growing up of two little kids. I DO use cloth place mats on it…but more because I like how it looks than to protect the table.
