How to make homemade furniture polish for wood
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.
Bring the shine back to your favorite wood tables, chairs, floors, and other wood furniture with this simple recipe for homemade DIY wood polish spray and cleaner that is made with doTERRA essential oils.

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.
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.
I love this 3 pack because it is reasonably priced, has the measurement markings on the side, and comes with chalk labels so you know what’s what.
Recommended Essential Oils for your Homemade Wood Furniture Polish Cleaner

love this!
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. 🙂
Wonderful polish for an old fashioned shine!
Thanks, Wendy! So glad you love it.
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.
