Furniture Polish Recipe DIY

Furniture Polish HOME MADE IS EASY


Mix in a sprayer bottle:
  • 1 cup mineral oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (squeezed fresh)
*Shake well and apply a small amount to a flannel cleaning rag or cleaning cloth. Spread evenly over furniture surface. Turn cloth to a dry side and polish dry.

*I use old cloth diapers and just toss them in the washer with homemade laundry soap.

~ I have furniture made in Spain from the mid 1960's. I'm picky about the polish I use. Store pruchased sprays "hurt" my little boys lungs. SO, I started using this recipe.

I repeated the process maybe two more times….and the stain was gone.  A stain that has been there for I don’t even remember how long! 

 You will hardly believe our eyes. It was so easy and quick and there wasn't even any scrubbing involved.

 Who would have ever thought to use a steam iron and a towel to draw the stain up out of the carpet?

Just look at the PILE of white towels I went through before I called it a night!  That was a serious stain!
