The Green Guide’s tip last week was most helpful! They suggest making a furniture polish with a vinegar or lemon juice base, so that it doesn’t make your furniture ‘gunky’ like an oil-base would. Check it out here! I just tried it - and I love the results!
Edited 7/5/07: The first time I tried it with vinegar, olive oil and eucalyptus essential oil. But I just did it again with 1/4 c. lemon juice and about a tablespoon of safflower oil (I’m out of olive oil) and I didn’t need the essential oils. I love it!!! It leaves a beautiful sheen on the furniture, with no buildup. And the lemon juice leaves a nice scent in the house. Please note: Lemon juice will go rancid if left out, so please refrigerate. It’s fine on the furniture, but if you have leftover solution, keep it in the fridge.

Wow, thank you for sharing this wonderful tip with us. I have run out of teak oil to polish my furniture (I have lots of teak furniture at home :roll:) and was reluctant to buy more because they cost so much here…..and voila! I bumped into your “Homemade Furniture Polish” tip.
Much peace and joy to you,
