Over time, the gloss of your wooden furniture fades, due to repeated cleaning by mistake or weather factors, and to restore the lost shine you need to polish it properly.

There are two types of wood polishing: chemical polishing and household polishing. Chemical or industrial polishes available in the market coat the surface of the wood and give the furniture a glossy appearance, but industrial polishes do not dampen the wood, and the luster they give it does not last long. On the other hand, polishing does not provide The home of wooden furniture not only gives shine to the furniture, but also nourishes it and makes its luster natural and clean, so “The Seventh Day” reviews some useful home methods for polishing furniture with ingredients from inside your kitchen, according to the site “mrright” as follows:

Lemon and olive oil mix

Mix 1 cup of olive oil and ½ cup of lemon juice. Pour the mixture onto a soft cloth and gently rub it across the furniture in a circular motion. If the wood appears dry, let the mixture sit on the surface, then pour more polish onto the fabric and buff the dull surface to a glossy finish.

Beeswax and olive oil

1. Melt ½ cup of beeswax in a metal bowl over a saucepan of hot water.
2. Add one and a half cups of olive oil to the melted wax and mix it well.
3. Pour the mixture into a glass bowl and let it harden. When you want to polish the furniture, put this mixture in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
4. Then put the dissolved mixture on a clean cloth and gently apply it to the wooden surface in a circular motion.
5. When dry, rub toward the wood grain with another clean cloth.
6. This polish protects the wood from external moisture and restores needed moisture inside the wood, giving the wood a nice healthy glow.

Vinegar and olive oil

1. Mix 1 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup white vinegar. The olive oil nourishes the wood and the white vinegar cleans it, giving the wood a healthy, long-lasting shine.
2. To use, pour the polishing mixture onto a soft cloth and gently rub it on the furniture in a circular motion.
3. If the wood appears dry, let the mixture sit on the surface, then pour more of the ingredients you mixed into the fabric and rub the dull surface until it is shiny.
