Update: If making this solution, cut it down to what you can use in a month's time. The polish does get a bit funky after a while....but in the long run....still nicer than the commercial stuff. May 23, 2009: I cut the recipe down to 1/4 cup just to try it out and it worked wonders on my hard wood furniture. I put the ingredients in an old Tupperware...gave it a good shake and blotted some on to an old face cloth. Way cheaper than the commercial stuff and no heavy fumes to stink up the house. Kudos, Tish!!! -
Works great, easy to make and cleans wonderfully! And I don't have that awful smell in the room and choking on fumes. -
I mixed up a batch using bottled lemon juice, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use fresh lemon juice. It work as well or better then purchased products. I used it on kitchen cupboards, bedroom dressers,tables. And it worked great on everything.I will never buy polish again with all the chemicals in them. I always have these ingredients on hand. Thank you for an earth-friendly polish recipe.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
