- Squeeze the juice out of a lemon.
- If you don't have a lemon available, pour four tablespoons of lemon juice into a small spray bottle.
- Mix three tablespoons of water and two teaspoons of olive oil with the lemon juice.
- Shake well.
The DIY Life website recommends making a new batch each time you want to polish your furniture, as the olive oil can become rancid.
Tip: Use a soft terry cloth to polish furniture instead of paper towels.
