The citrus component and essential oils can be swapped to create polishes that suit your sensory preferences and functional needs.

1. The White Vinegar Base

Substituting lemon juice with white vinegar creates a polish with stronger cleaning power for heavily soiled pieces. The vinegar smell dissipates quickly, leaving behind only the scent of your essential oils.

2. Essential Oil Blends for Ambiance

•Woodland Fresh: 10 drops Cedarwood + 10 drops Pine.•Warm & Spicy: 15 drops Orange + 5 drops Cinnamon.•Calming & Clean: 12 drops Lavender + 8 drops Frankincense.

3. Adding Beeswax for Extra Protection

For surfaces that need more durability, like dining tables, you can create a conditioning wax. Gently melt 1/4 cup of beeswax pellets into 1 cup of your chosen oil using a double boiler. Let it cool slightly, add your acid and essential oils, then whip as it solidifies for a creamy, spreadable paste.
