Making your own citrus wood polish is a simple and effective DIY project. Citrus oils not only add a pleasant fragrance but also have natural cleaning and polishing properties. Here’s a basic recipe for a DIY Citrus Wood Polish.

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of olive oil or jojoba oil (as a base)
2. 1/4 cup of white vinegar (for added cleaning power)
3. 10-15 drops of citrus essential oil (such as lemon, orange, or grapefruit)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Base Oils:
   • In a bowl, combine the olive oil or jojoba oil. These oils will serve as the base for your wood polish.
2. Add White Vinegar:
   • Pour in the white vinegar. Vinegar helps to cut through grease and grime, providing additional cleaning benefits.
3. Add Citrus Essential Oil:
   • Drop in 10-15 drops of your chosen citrus essential oil. The citrus oil will give your wood polish a pleasant scent and add to its cleaning and polishing properties.
4. Stir Well:
   • Use a spoon or whisk to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Ensure that the vinegar and oil are well combined.
5. Transfer to a Container:
   • Pour the mixture into a clean, airtight container or an empty glass jar with a lid. Make sure the container is sealable to keep the polish fresh.
6. Application:
   • To use the polish, simply dip a soft cloth or a sponge into the mixture and apply it to your wooden furniture or surfaces. Rub in the direction of the wood grain for the best results.
7. Buffing:
   • After applying the polish, use a clean, dry cloth to buff the wood surface. This will remove any excess polish and leave your wood with a beautiful shine.

Tips:

• Test the polish on a small, inconspicuous area of your wood before applying it to the entire surface.
• Shake or stir the mixture before each use, as the ingredients may separate over time.
• Store the citrus wood polish in a cool, dark place to maintain its freshness.
