How to make furniture polish using olive oil

We ALL adore nice, woody furniture. Most of them do come with a nice polished look. Others, well, may not.

To save ourselves some money and abit of DIY, here is how was can use olive oil to polish up those faded looking wooden planks and furnitures.

-->

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.

Love...

L'amour est un coussin douillet et une épée posée sur la gorge.
Love is a soft cushion and a sword against the throat. --Shan Sa

So true.
The more u bare, the more u risk.
Yet
without risk, there is no gain.

afternoon scribbles

Just random thoughts floating in my head.
Instead of going home, i am trying to waste my time online.
Actually, i should be weighing my gels and going home - to start writing.
There is a slight temptation to shop.
~Nah, shouldnt~
I will wait for terence. We can do that together in the weekend.

How is my life?
It seems pretty fine.
Life has always been good for me.
Or maybe,
i just have accumulated good karma to last me this lifetime... ^_^
i think i found someone special.
Hopefully, its the right one.
No rush.
Don't decide rashly.
Plan together.
Walk hand-in-hand.
Trying not to have pre-mature conclusions about what will happen.
(that's hard...)

Dreams are always sweet, isn't it?
It will taste even better when they become reality.
We are waiting, anticipating.
I hope, i pray
our paths can only get more entwined, as more time passes.
