Bring life back to your wood furniture with this all-natural homemade wood polish cleaner spray that uses the power of natural essential oils to preserve wood and bring it back to life.
Use this DIY Wood Polish Spray to clean without the use of synthetic chemicals or aerosol sprays that are unhealthy to both the environment and our bodies.
Wood furniture is an investment that needs to be cared for and maintained. Although polishing wood furniture should only be done every few months, it is important to continually keep the wood clean by dusting or wiping it with a damp microfiber cloth.

Supplies For Your Homemade Wood Polish Spray
This easy homemade spray calls for only a few ingredients like olive oil and vinegar that you can probably find in your kitchen cabinet. If not, you can pick them up next time you’re at the grocery store, or order them online.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Microfiber Cleaning Cloths. You’ll use these to wipe your wood furniture after you spray it with the polish cleaner. These are soft and won’t scratch the wood. These are highly rated and are made of ultra-soft material so are scratch-free. You can wash them and use them for cleaning up all-around your home.
- ULTRA SOFT MATERIAL & SCRATCH FREE – Ultra soft and highly absorbent microfiber cleaning cloths, great for cleaning windows, kitchenware, car or other delicate surfaces.
8 oz Glass Spray Bottles You’ll want a few of these to use for different green cleaning recipes. Glass is preferred any time you are using essential oils because plastic and essential oils are not friends.
Here’s a few options for you.
I usually buy the 6 pack and use the bottles for many other purpose.
- Three-stage adjustable nozzle: It can meet your diversified needs. You can spray or spray water, or even lock it so that the water can’t be sprayed
- 6 – 16 oz, Amber glass bottles, with black trigger sprayers.
- Multifunctional – The spray bottles can be mixed essential oil recipes, cosmetic face moisturizer, hair moisturizing spray, homemade window cleaners, floor or carpet cleaner, kitchen cleaner, natural air freshener, pet spray, ironing, linen spray, spraying plants and many more.

Hey quick question I have everything but the orange oil, would anything work in place of it?
Kim – Others you could try are Lemon or Cedarwood. As always, be sure to test in a small inconspicuous area first.
Wonderful polish for an old fashioned shine!
Thanks, Wendy! So glad you love it.
I’m excited to try this recipe out! I typically get my wood floors polished in my dining room and living by a professional wood floor cleaner near me, and my floors always turn out great. I just cleaned out my basement though and noticed how dirty the wood floors were. I’m planning on using this recipe to DIY polish the floors myself!
Sarah, that’s great! I recommend testing a small inconspicuous area first just to be safe. 🙂
love this!
