Furniture Oil/Polish

Here's another great find from Homesteadblogger.com's Front Porch courtesy of Lisa Barthuly from http://www.homesteadoriginals.com/.

Furniture Oil/Polish

~Grab an old container, any will do -- Tupperware, canning jar – whatever is handy and has a tight fitting lid. :)

~Fill half full of Olive Oil (I usually only use a half cup or so, as a little truly goes a long way and this is super easy to make up quickly when needed!).

~Add 1 t of Lemon Juice OR (and this is my personal preference) add some Sweet Orange essential oil, or Lemon essential oil–about 5 drops to the Olive Oil.

~Tighten your lid down, shake it up a bit and it’s done.

~Next, take this container and an old cloth and polish the woodwork, furniture, etc.

~Be sure when you are done–the lid goes back on tightly AND you CLEARLY MARK the container “FURNITURE OIL”.

  5. Thanks Kim! I enjoyed reading past posts! I used Far Above Rubies with my Kat for a while. It's laughable because she was never "drawn" to the homemaking skills of a so called "prov. 31" stay at home wife and mom. But still it gave good foundational principles. She is a sweet sweet, intelligent gal. She just finished up her degree in Criminal Justice. (doesn't like to cook!!!) WE love her to pieces. Very independent first-born. I also used Konos unit studies for a number of years. Those were good! My kids had fun with that. How neat that your best friend is in Charlotte. Hope she likes it. I would love to get out of the growing "world-class" vision city and get to the country... one day, Lord???? :-) Ttyl!
