Ingredients

Polish #1

Add 1 teaspoon of lemon oil to 2 cups of mineral oil for lemon scented polish.

Polish #2

Mix 1 teaspoon of olive oil with the juice of one lemon. 1 teaspoon of brandy or whiskey, and 1 teaspoon of water. This must be made fresh each time.

Polish #3

Mix 3 parts of olive oil with 1 part white vinegar.

Polish # 4

Mix together 1/3 cup vinegar, 1/3 cup turpentine, and 1/3 cup of boiled linseed oil. Moisten a soft cloth with polish and rub over furniture.

CAUTION: Never attempt to boil linseed oil; it's highly flammable. Buy it at the hardware store. Also, always clearly label homemade cleaning products and compounds, keep them away from children and pets.

Directions

Mix which ever one you wish to try up and give them a shot!!!

I've tried #4 and it works great for paneling as well as furniture, great post.

Question -- does anyone use "food" oils such as olive oil on furniture out there? Is it stable and does it not smell nasty after a bit? I've always used linseed oil for furniture and your other "recipes" sound fragrant and lovely.

Won't the turpentine destroy the stain on the furniture?

I admit I have never uesd #4 polish before, but it says it will not ruin it. If you make it try it in a spot under neath for a while and then let me know, I love feedback.

I use mineral oil to polish our wood furniture, I like the idea of adding lemon essential oil or probably any citrus essential oil will do so great post again!
