Homemade Furniture Polish Recipes

Here are two natural homemade furniture polish recipes that you can use on your wood furniture.

The recipes below are great for polishing your wood, and some of them also help clean it at the same time.

There are many reasons you may wish to make your own furniture polish, including cost, and the wish to use only natural ingredients in your home.

These recipes will allow you to do both, because the ingredients are inexpensive, and probably already contained in your pantry (well, at least most of them).

In addition, the ingredients are natural meaning that less man-made chemicals will be in circulation in your home when you use these recipes.

Lemon Scented Homemade Furniture Polish

Ingredients:

• 2 cups olive oil
• Juice from one lemon (approx. 3 tablespoons)

Directions:

Mix the ingredients together, and then apply lightly with a clean rag or dusting cloth.

You should gently buff the homemade lemon furniture polish on the wood furniture to bring out the shine.

Discard any unused polish after use, because it does not store well.

Homemade Beeswax Furniture Polish

To make this homemade beeswax polish you will need the following ingredients:

• 4 ounces of walnut oil
• 1 tablespoon melted beeswax
• 1 teaspoon linseed oil
• 1-2 drops citrus essential oil

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients together and then apply lightly with a clean rag or dusting cloth.

You can substitute olive oil for walnut oil if you wish, but walnut oil is a great furniture polish ingredient.

Vinegar And Oil Furniture Polish

Ingredients:

• 3 parts olive oil
• 1 part distilled white vinegar

Directions:

Mix the ingredients together, and then apply lightly with a clean rag or dusting cloth.

This polish, because it has such a large amount of vinegar, also will clean your wood furniture while it polishes, but therefore should also be used more sparingly and less often.

Discard any unused polish after use, because it does not store well.
