A homemade wood and furniture polish provides a safe, natural alternative to chemical- and petroleum-based polishes. This simple polish made from olive oil and lemon juice shines furniture and offers a familiar lemony scent, evoking an essence of clean air. Since the polish contains actual lemon juice, it should be used within a few days or stored in a refrigerator to ensure freshness.
Ingredients
1 organic lemon–peeled and juiced
2 cups of olive oil
Directions
Place the juice and olive oil in a glass jar. Finely chop the lemon peel and then add to the jar. Tighten the lid on the jar and leave the mixture to infuse overnight (at least) in a cool, dark place. Strain the solution with a small strainer and, with the help of a funnel, filter the polish into a spray bottle. Spray, wipe and buff to a high shine.
Note
As with all new cleaners, always do a test patch first, especially on wood.
