Polishing furniture

Sometimes furniture polishes have an unpleasant and persistent smell that can even cause irritability or depression. Try this safer and more natural way to polish wood: combine in a bowl a few drops of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon (or ¼ cup of bottled lemon juice). Dip a dry soft cloth in the mixture and polish your furniture as usual. Lemon juice will draw the dirt out of wood fibers, and olive oil will keep the moisture in.
