Revive Wood Furniture With Kitchen Products!
Perhaps you have an heirloom table passed down from your grandmother, or found an antique vanity that was a steal and stunning. As beautiful as classic wood furniture may be, the years can be hard on wood furniture, and finding a way to revive wood furniture while not ruining your budget can be difficult. Many products designed for reviving wood furniture are very expensive and time consuming. However you’re in luck. There’s kitchen concoctions you can make that will clean your wood furniture just as well as the name brand products on the shelves.
How to Use Orange Oil to Revive Wood Furniture
We will get to the crazy cupboard ingredients you can use in a moment, but the first step to reviving a second-hand or worn down piece of wood furniture is to buy a polishing agent with orange or lemon oil. This will help clean the wood from all dust that was on it or embedded in the crevices and grooves of the wood. Orange and lemon oil is known to condition the wood.
Mayonnaise Will Wipe Away Moisture Stains
If you have pesky rings on your wood furniture from glasses with condensation or other water marks, the best way to get rid of them is also a great sandwich topper: mayonnaise! Just spread real mayonnaise (no salad dressing, vegannaise or miracle whip) onto the mark and let it sit for an hour before removing it with a damp cloth.
Dried Out Furniture? Try This Salad Dressing
This one may go well on some iceberg or arugula too, but if your wood furniture has lost some luster because the wood has become dry, don’t worry: it doesn’t have to stay that way. Your wood furniture can be revitalized with a mix of one part virgin olive oil and one part white vinegar. Using a clean white cloth or piece of cheese cloth, place the mixture on the table, removing any extra. Apply it until you notice the wood furniture looks more polished.
Use a Walnut to Revive Wood Furniture
Get nutty and get rid of the tiny scratches that often damage the appearance of wood furniture. You can use nut oil, or the much less expensive approach of a walnut to rub over any small scratches. Just rub the meat of the walnuyt into the scratch. The nut is so full of oil that it will fill the scratch just like more expensive nut oil will.
Natural Products Designed to Revive Wood Furniture
There are many other natural products you can buy in stores which will restore the finish of wood. In the past few years, organic products have become so common that you’re sure to find a product which is earth and budget friendly. Sanding wood and refinishing it is also a great way to get rid of any large problems that cannot be fixed with the above solutions.
