How to make your own furniture polish using coconut oil


You can totally get a store-sold wood furniture polish ( which by the way is highly toxic) but making your own is a much safer option which gives amazing results as well!

The ingredients for making the furniture polish are easily available and cost you much less than a store-bought one.

I have several wood furniture in my home and over time, unstoppable scratches and liquid stains have marred the beauty of the wood and the dust is also not helping. This diy coconut furniture wood polish seriously has made a major impression on me. I used a spray bottle to dispense the polish onto the wood surface. This was before using the polish:

Amazing isn’t it? And the fragrance is just perfect. Mild and not overly strong.

For spraying the polish, you can get a spray bottle for GHC5 in shops selling hair & beauty products . I added a few drops of lavender essential oil which you can also find in natural beauty shops like All Pure Nature at the Marina Mall.

Here’s how to make yours to get your lovely wood shining and looking as good as new.

Materials Needed:

  1. Spray Bottle

  2. Micro-fiber cloth

  3. Knife to cut lemon




Natural Ingredients

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 cup of virgin coconut oil

1/4 cup white vinegar

10 drops of Lavender essential oil



Directions:

  1. Combine all the natural ingredients into a spray bottle. Shake the bottle to combine well.

  2. Ensure the surface is free from dirt and other clutter.

  3. Turn the nozzle of the spray bottle to spray in a full cone and not a flat stream. A flat stream emits a linear pointed spray instead of a fuller finer stream. The full cone will widely distribute the polish.

  4. Using the micro-fibre cloth wipe the surface in a circular motion until the entire surface is well polished.

  5. Allow to dry for 5 minutes and do a final wipe down with a dry micro-fibre cloth.

  6. Store the polish with your other cleaning products safely and away from children.


After using this polish, you are sure to never buy a store-bought wood polish again. The oil mixed with lemon juice and the lavender oil gives the wood a super all-natural shine booster and definitely smells way better than the average polish on supermarket shelves.
