Cleaning wood furniture can be a little scary, especially if you are a lover of antiques like I am! I have used some store bought furniture polishes that worked okay, but some can be super harsh. I recently started making my own homemade furniture polish and love it! Not only does it clean my wood furniture surfaces, it also helps to moisturize and protect the wood without damaging it. I make mine with a nice lemon scent, but you can totally leave the lemon essential oil out if you prefer. I am sharing my recipe here with you and I am also including a short video showing exactly how I make it…be sure to catch it at the end of this post!

If you’d like a little extra cleaning help and a nice lemon scent, add 20 drops of Lemon Essential Oil.

Give it a good shake before each use. Because there are no binding chemicals, the ingredients separate when left sitting.

    Thanks for all your great tips. However, I wanted to share what many woodworker experts tell us about what wooden furniture needs. It may sound funny, but they need WAX. Sure there is she oil included but wax is supper important. I like Howard’s Feed ‘N Wax. But keep all the great recipes coming — I love and use many of them quite often. Meris
