DIY Natural Wood Furniture Polish

Because these polishes use fresh, natural ingredients, proper storage is essential for safety and effectiveness.

1. Choosing the Right Container

Always store your polish in a dark glass jar (like amber or cobalt blue) with a tight seal. Glass prevents chemical leaching, and the dark color protects the oils from light degradation.

2. Understanding Shelf Life

A polish made with fresh lemon juice will last 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator. Using vinegar or citric acid powder extends this to 2-3 months. If you smell anything rancid or sour, discard it immediately.

3. Crucial Safety and Testing Tips

• Always Test First: Apply to a hidden area (inside a leg, back of a drawer) and wait 24 hours.• Avoid Unfinished Wood: These polishes are for sealed or finished wood. For raw wood, use pure oil only.• Keep Away from Heat & Flame: Oils are flammable. Store and use away from open flames.• Fabric Warning: Oils can stain fabric. Buff thoroughly and be cautious on upholstered furniture arms.
