Is your waxed wood furniture covered in dust and grime? You're searching for a reliable cleaner that restores its shine without harm?
Unlike varnished wood, waxed pieces are more delicate and require gentle care.
Fortunately, this proven natural recipe deep-cleans waxed wood effectively, with no risk to the finish.
It even helps repel dust for longer-lasting results. Here's how to do it:
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of black soap
- 100 ml household alcohol
- 10 drops of Scots pine essential oil (optional)
- Spray bottle
- Cloth
- Whisk
- Bowl
- Funnel
1. Pour the oil and liquid soap into the bowl.
2. Add rubbing alcohol.
3. Whisk the ingredients to create a homogeneous, slightly viscous liquid.
4. Add essential oils if desired.
5. Use the funnel to pour the mixture into the spray bottle.
6. Shake well before use and spray onto the wooden furniture.
7. Wipe with the cloth.
And there you go! Your waxed wood furniture is now clean and gleaming :-)
Simple, quick, and highly effective—without any chemicals. Ditch those pricey, ineffective store-bought products.
The wood gets nourished while preserving the wax. Regular care keeps waxed wood healthy for years, as it's more sensitive than varnished surfaces.
Don't have black soap? Substitute with liquid Marseille soap.
To avoid overspraying, mist the mixture onto a microfiber cloth first, then wipe the furniture.
This ensures even application without excess moisture.
This cleaner also works on varnished, raw, or freshly sanded wood, and suits all types: oak, pine, cherry, wenge, or walnut.
Store it for weeks at room temperature, away from light.
Olive oil nourishes the wood and enhances shine without a greasy residue.
It provides weeks of protection, especially against water spots.
Black soap deeply cleans, removing dull buildup from the wax without stripping it, making polishing easier.
Household alcohol boosts the mixture's shine, leaving wood looking renewed and like new.
