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.
