Wood Furniture: Clean, Condition, Protect

Everyday Dusting and Shine

Use a dry microfiber cloth to lift dust, then lightly mist a second cloth with distilled water and a splash of vinegar for fingerprints. Buff dry immediately. Have a tricky finish? Post a photo, and we will suggest a gentler approach.

Water Rings and Cloudy Haze

For fresh rings, a low hairdryer setting helps evaporate trapped moisture. Follow with a tiny dab of olive or jojoba oil to restore luster. Always rub with the grain. Tried it? Report your results and finish type for others.

Homemade Polish Recipe

Mix two parts jojoba oil with one part white vinegar and three drops lemon oil, shake, then apply sparingly and buff. Avoid on waxed or shellac surfaces. Want a beeswax version for heirlooms? Vote yes, and we will publish next.

Natural Deodorizing and Maintenance

Sprinkle baking soda, let sit fifteen minutes, then vacuum thoroughly with an upholstery attachment. A light spritz of diluted vodka can neutralize odors. Test for colorfastness. What fabric are you tackling this week? Ask, and we will tailor advice.

Stain Strategy, The Green Way

Blot, never rub. For fresh spills, use cold water and diluted castile soap. Grease yields to cornstarch; tannins respond to diluted vinegar. Avoid over-wetting cushions. Share your toughest stain story, and we will crowdsource a gentle solution.

Leather and Faux Leather: Gentle, Not Greasy

Dust weekly, then wipe with a barely damp microfiber cloth. Skip vinegar on real leather; use a very diluted castile solution instead. Keep away from direct sun. Curious about pH and finishes? Ask, and we will explain in simple terms.

Leather and Faux Leather: Gentle, Not Greasy

Blot liquids immediately. For ink, gently dab with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab, if the manufacturer allows. Faux leather tolerates mild soap better. Always test discreetly. Got a mystery mark? Describe it, and we will help troubleshoot.

Metal, Glass, And Mixed Materials

Stainless steel prefers diluted castile and a dry buff with the grain. Brass brightens with lemon and salt, rinsed and dried thoroughly. Avoid vinegar on aluminum. Which metal dominates your home? Tell us, and we will personalize a routine.

Metal, Glass, And Mixed Materials

Use equal parts distilled water and white vinegar, plus a single drop of castile for slip. Spray lightly, wipe with microfiber, then finish with a dry pass. Want streak-free secrets for glass table edges? Request our corner-fold technique.
