A wooden wardrobe, dresser, table, or shelf can serve us for many years. However, to ensure this, proper care is essential. You don't have to spend money on store-bought products, which don’t always work well and can dull the surface. Just two ingredients are enough to make your furniture look as good as new.

Homemade mixture for wooden furniture

If you're hesitant to spend money on renovation or purchasing new furniture, we have a solution for you. You can transform wooden furniture in just a few moments with products that not only clean but also care for and polish them. However, before we begin, it's worth testing the mixture on a small area to see how it behaves. If everything is fine, you can apply it to the entire surface.

Simply combine vinegar and olive oil in equal proportions and apply them using a soft cloth. Afterwards, just polish the furniture with a dry cloth. Vinegar, with its antibacterial and antifungal properties, acts as a natural cleaning agent, removing all dirt and bacteria. Olive oil nourishes and adds shine. This trick may be particularly beneficial for oiled furniture, as it will not only refresh but also protect them. After such treatment, they will look flawless.

How to care for furniture?

To keep wooden furniture in good condition for as long as possible, the homemade mixture won't be enough. Additionally, regular dusting and wiping with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth is recommended. This prevents the accumulation of dust and other impurities.

It's advisable to carry out a general cleaning approximately once a month. As for waxed or oiled furniture, they should be refreshed once a year. It all depends on the type and condition of the surface. Maintenance is essential not only to maintain cleanliness and order but also to ensure wooden furniture retains a nice appearance and stays in good condition.
