If I suddenly shouted "oil and vinegar", would salad be the first thing that comes to your mind? It certainly comes to my mind, but today, instead of putting the oil and vinegar on my salad, I'm going to push my bowl over to the side and use it to clean and polish the table. This homemade furniture cleaner and polish is super quick and easy. Best of all, it's a safe, green, non-toxic cleaner that will give your wood furniture a beautiful shine and luster.

What You'll Need:

3/4 cup olive oil

1/4 white vinegar

fragrant oil or lemon (optional)

Mix It Up:

Pour 3/4 cup of olive oil into a clean plastic spray bottle.

Add 1/4 cup of vinegar.

If you like, add fragrant oil or lemon juice.

Shake well and enjoy…even on your salad.

When done, be sure to store in a cool dark cabinet or pantry away from heat producing appliances such as stoves, toasters, microwaves, etc.

Hints, Tips & Suggestions:

Instead of throwing away old socks, use them as dusters. Just slip them on your hands like gloves and dust away. You'll be amazed at how much easier it makes dusting.

It's always best to spray furniture polish directly onto the cloth and not the furniture.

Follow the natural grain of the furniture.

Never use water on wood. It can cause warping and discoloration.
