I love the smell of Purify Essential Oil for furniture polish. It smells just like the store bought stuff. My furniture is polished and clean after using this. Due to the olive oil in this homemade furniture polish, the furniture is dust repellent for a while. The vinegar acts as a disinfectant. I feel better knowing I am using all natural ingredients in my cleaning products. Let me know how you like using this or share this with all your friends.
Making your own cleaning products is beneficial in many ways.

Here is a list of 7 homemade cleaning products you can make at home for way less. Making your own reduces unnecessary waste for the environment, since there is no need to buy a bunch of different bottles of cleaners. Then just throw these bottles away when you are done. Also there are less harmful chemicals you are adding to the environment. I love making my own saves me a ton of money. Most items in cleaners can be purchased in bulk and used in many different ways. Essential oils can be added to create a clean and fresh smell you like.

What are your favorite homemade cleaning products?
This was so simple i used on furniture, rockers and cupboards. It seemed to clean and freshen the wood. Great and easy available
Thanks Sandy! I am so glad this worked so well for you. Please share with your friends.
i used to make a furniture polish without water- why the use of water would this not damage the wood
Can I use a different oil? Almond oil?
Yes you can definitely try. Other oils may tend to be a little sticky, so you can try on a small spot before you use on a large piece of furniture.
I was also concerned if water or vinegar would damage wood?
No. You are not using a lot or leaving it on the surface for a long period of time to saturate the wood.
Is the vinegar white vinegar ? Thankyou
Yes. Just plain white vinegar
