Let's start a revolution!
-A revolution where our money isn't sucked right out of our hands by major chains that pump out caustic product and convince us that we need it. Let's control what comes into our households, and if need be- make our own product. I've drawn a line in the sand as to what I'll put up with putting into me and my children, my pets, my house. Here's what I've learned:

Lemon Furniture Polish

Lemon is my absolute favorite scent. If my house was stuffed full of various citrus peels, I'd be completely happy.

Ingredients
16 oz spray bottle
1 cup olive oil
25 drops pure lemon essential oil
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
fill remainder of the bottle with purified water

Shake well before each use. Spray onto your rag or directly onto furniture. Buff dry immediately.

Wood Polish

My other go to wood polish. This one takes a little time to cure.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
several drops essential oil of choice (optional)

Combine in a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well before each use. Pour a little on a dry, soft, cotton rag and rub into wood. Buff gently with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess polish (too much left on the finish will attract dust).

Rosemary Wood Cleaner

Most of my furniture is wood. I refuse to use pledge on it, and my grocery store typically runs out of Murphy's Oil Soap. This is one of my 'smell good polishes' that is kid and animal friendly.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
1/2 cup rosemary infused water or 6 drops rosemary essential oil
1 teaspoon liquid dish detergent
1/8 teaspoon olive oil

Using full strength, dip a clean cloth in the mix, squeeze out excess, and wash wood furniture. Can be stored in plastic.
