Wooden furniture and surfaces add warmth, beauty, and character to any space—but over time, they can lose their shine and charm due to dust, stains, or daily wear. While commercial cleaners are widely available, many contain harsh chemicals that can damage wood or harm indoor air quality.

This DIY wood polish not only revives tired-looking wood but also protects it from future wear. Ready to bring your wood back to life? Let’s dive in.
The Quick and Easy Natural Wood Polish Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or another light vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar (or lemon juice for a fresh scent)
- A few drops of essential oil (optional – e.g., lemon, lavender, or orange)
Tools:
- Soft microfiber cloth or old t-shirt
- Small bowl or jar for mixing
How to Use It
- Mix the Ingredients:
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and vinegar. Add a few drops of essential oil if you want a pleasant fragrance. Stir or shake well if using a jar. - Apply to the Surface:
Dip a soft cloth into the mixture (just a small amount) and wring out any excess. Gently rub the polish into the wooden surface in circular motions, focusing on dull or scratched areas. - Buff and Shine:
After application, use a dry, clean cloth to buff the surface. This helps remove any extra oil and brings out a natural shine without leaving a greasy film.
Why It Works
- Olive oil moisturizes and nourishes the wood, restoring its natural sheen.
- Vinegar cuts through grime and removes light stains and buildup.
- Essential oils add antibacterial properties and leave a fresh, clean scent.
