Deep Cleansing Furniture Oil

1. Combine the olive oil and vinegar (using proportions specified below) in a glass or ceramic container.
2. Apply the polish with a soft polishing cloth. Do not rub it in too hard but leave it to soak in.
3. Allow to air dry.

Polish #1:

• 3 parts olive oil
• 1 part white vinegar
• soft polishing cloth

Regular Cleaning Furniture Oil

1. Combine the oil and lemon juice in a glass or ceramic container.
2. Apply with a soft polishing cloth.
3. Use the soft cloth to shine the furniture by rubbing briskly.
4. Allow to air dry if it hasn't already through buffing.

Polish #2:

• 2 cups olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced

Tips

• The first polish penetrates deeply; the second polish is more suitable for more regular cleaning and the lemon scent is delightful.
• Do not keep these polishes - they should be made and used on the same day. Dispose of the polishes as you would dispose of olive oil.
