Make it Sparkle: 3-Ingredient DIY Wood Polish Recipe

Keep your treasured wooden surfaces lemony fresh and gleaming like new with this natural and easy to make 3-ingredient wood polish recipe!

If you’ve got a lemon and some grapeseed or olive oil** in your kitchen, you’re just a few steps away from making your old wooden furniture, banisters, and tables shine. This weekend, show your dull, ill-treated wooden surfaces some love with this simple 3-ingredient DIY wood polish recipe that Michelle Chin shared on Apartment Therapy!

**Note: I don’t personally recommend olive oil for wood polishing purposes, as it will eventually go rancid. I use mineral oil to preserve and polish my own wooden items, and several helpful readers who are avid woodworkers have also written in recommending nut oils, specifically walnut oil.
