A simple homemade wood cleaning DIY recipe can go a long way. Opt for a safe, natural, and powerful blend that both cleans and polishes any wood surfaces.
DIY Wood Cleaner
Most commercial cleaners are full of fragrances and solvents that are mostly harmful. A DIY version uses real ingredients that could even be grown in your garden. With homemade wood polishes, you can control the scent that your ingredients give off. Each ingredient you use plays a unique role in how your homemade polish works.

Instructions
Not all wood finishes will react the same. It’s good to know which ingredients to use and how to use them.
1. Mix all the ingredients, creating a liquid base.
2. Pour the mix into a spray bottle with all the combined ingredients. The ingredients will naturally separate as time goes on.
3. You should always shake the spray bottle before and during each use.
4. Spray directly onto your furniture.
5. With a soft microfibre, start wiping the sprayed surface. Wipe in circular motions to lift dirt and leave a nice finish.
6. The essential oils in the mix will keep the wood furniture shiny and moisturised.
