    This furniture polish is all-natural and leaves your wood beautifully finished. It also disperses a fresh fragrance throughout a room any time of year.

    Blending Procedure:

    1. Measure the the beeswax and jojoba oil into a Pyrex measuring cup and place the cup into a bath of boiling water. When the wax is nearly completely melted, remove the cup from the water and stir the ingredients to thoroughly combine.

    2. Allow the mixture to cool for about 1 minute before adding the jojoba oil and virgin coconut oil and stirring to ensure the mix.

    3. Add the essential oils next and stir well to combine. Pour into a wide-mouthed jar so you can easily dispense it.

    4. To use, apply the mixture a little at a time to clean furniture surface using a soft wool or cotton cloth. I like to use worn dish towels because they are very soft and pliable.

      Some people do not like the oiliness of oil/wax polishes. If you are one of them, spritz the wood surface once or twice with natural apple cide vinegar before polishing. This will "cut" the oil a little bit and it also enhances the shine. The vinegar smell dissipates quickly.
