Nearly wrecked a 1920s dresser with the wrong cleaner

I found this beautiful oak dresser at an antique mall in Portland for $120. Got it home and tried wiping it down with what I thought was a gentle wood cleaner, but it started bubbling the finish within seconds. I panicked and grabbed some mineral spirits I had in the garage, dabbed it on carefully with a rag, and luckily it stopped the damage before it spread. Anyone else almost ruin a piece by using the wrong cleaning stuff?
