Do NOT use lemon oil. Some people will tell you a little won't hurt, but it's not meant to be used on maple.

For maple you can just rub it down with a polishing cloth, and use guitar polish if you want.

Some people claim Pledge is fine and they have been using it for years too.

Anyway something along those lines, avoid the lemon oil.

I find Naptha [lighter fluid] works Great for cleaning all types of dirt/crud from a Maple board. Put on a corner of a paper towel and wipe/rub down small area at a time as the fluid evaporates quickly. Won't harm finish in Any way either...

I use Dr. Ducks Ax Wax (contains no wax!)
a few times a year. It even gets gunk out of strings.
A few drops goes a long way. Apply it, let sit a few minutes, wipe off with a soft cloth.
