Add 2 tablespoons
of white vinegar to a pint of tepid water. Soak a clean
washcloth in the solution and wring it out. Rub the haze
lightly with the cloth being careful not to get too much
water onto the wood. Then, use a clean, dry cloth to wipe
up any excess. If there are several layers of polish you
may have to repeat the process. 
A white haze can
also be caused by moisture stuck in the wood's surface.
Try taking some wood ashes from your fireplace, and mixing
them with a little water to form a paste. Work that paste
into the piece with a washcloth until you see the haze
disappearing. Then clean the wood off with the vinegar and
water mixture. (If you don't have a fireplace, you could
also try some baking soda on a damp cloth. Rub it into the
spot and wipe it away with a clean cloth.) 
Once you've
removed all that white film from your furniture, try
polishing the surface with some lemon oil.
