WOOD YOU BELIEVE IT?

Spray furniture polish is all well and good for a quick fix (and makes the place smell as if it’s been newly spring-cleaned), but in the long term layers of silicon in the polish can build up on wooden furniture and leave the surfaces annoyingly tacky. Instead, here’s a lovely natural treatment that won’t leave you with sticky surfaces. Mix together two-parts olive oil to one-part white wine vinegar and apply the tiniest amount to a soft cotton cloth. Apply a thin layer to the wood, leave for a few minutes, then buff to a sheen with another soft clean cloth. Solid-wood furniture needs a polish only about twice a year; use a teeny amount of wax and buff well to get a good shine. Dust regularly and treat any occasional sticky marks with a chamois leather wrung out in a solution of one-part clear vinegar to six-parts water.
