Advantages: Cheap and easy to make

Disadvantages: None really!

I found this recipe for homemade furniture polish online, tried it, and have been using it ever since!

It's really easy to make and it leaves my furniture sparkling! I use it on all my wood surfaces and it brings everything up to a lovely clean shine. It smells great, and as you can add any kind of essential oil you want, the smell can be personalised to your taste. My favourite is Mango, it make the house smell really fresh. I've experimented with adding more drops of oil than the recipes states, and I found that any more than 4 - 5 makes the polish overpowering.

Another big thing for me, is knowing that I'm not spraying chemicals in my house. My husband has Asthma and on odd occasions, the chemical spray would aggravate his chest, but ever since I started using the homemade polish he's be fine.

It's also really cheap to make anything that's easy on my pocket will go down well with me!

Recipe

Mix together;

¼ cup vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 or 2 drops of any essential oil of your choice.
Dab a soft rag into the solution and rub your furniture to make it shine

Summary: Simple and easy to make and use
