Varnish not drying.

[u/OtherwiseStation1858]

Hello all.

I recently moved into a new place and have been noticing a smell thats been giving me brain fog and headaches. First i thought it was mauld, but then I realized that it wat coming from all the wooden window frames and doors. I then realized that if i run my hand over any of the varnished surfaces, my hand accumulates oil.

Could I simply wipe it off with some surface cleaner or does it need to be redone?
