Wooden Fumiture

A quick and simple way to polish your wooden fumiture is to use 55ml/1/H cup vinegar plus a few drops of oil. The vinegar pulls the dirt out of the wood, and the few drops of oil lubricates the wood so that it doesnt dry out.

The best oils to use are those that have the longest shelf life. Olive oil works well. The best choice of all is liquid wax jojoba. because it never goes rancid. It is found in most health food Stores. Boiled linseed oils found in hardware Stores have synthetic drying Chemicals in them and shouldnt be used. Use only food grade linseed oil.
