Furniture Polish

Furniture polish can help to restore shine and luster to wood furniture. Use it sparingly, as too much can leave a residue, and the only way to remove residue would be to strip the piece of furniture.

To avoid causing any damages to your furniture, we advise you to first test the product on a small piece of the wood (the back of the piece would be especially recommended), so that you can see if the product caused any damage to it.

Once you see how safe it is, spray the product on a cloth rather than directly on the surface.

Next you should consider what type of furniture you’re going to polish, what it is used for, and how often you use it. Typically, we recommend polishing furniture 2-4 times per year - so if you use it often, clean it 4 times; but if you use it sparingly, clean it 2 times.

On the other hand, if you’re simply dusting, you should dust every week or every 2 weeks.

Another important advice for furniture polishing is . Also make sure that you first test the product on a small piece of furniture (especially the back of it), so that you if it results in damage, and that you spray the product on a cloth rather than directly on the surface.
