I decided to move more,apart from a good walk everyday
Last week I cleaned all the windows over two days
I used to do it in one day,but hey,I'm getting a little old to half kill myself LOL
Now the other day while on Pinterest I discovered a mixture to polish furniture, the cheap and environmentally safe way
You know me,my book states that I am really into anything that saves money, time and is
good for the environment.
I cannot remember who to give this credit too,so if it's your recipe, please let me know and I
will credit you
Just mix equal parts vinegar and canola oil in a jar and shake
I added a few drops of lavender oil too, which doesn't state this on the recipe
That's it,so easy and boy was it easier than polishing with paste.
I must also try this on furniture that I chalk paint,but I haven't as yet
Table and hutch cleared ready,
dishes washed and dried
All put back onto a beautifully polished hutch
It came up so nice, I got carried away and did all the kitchen
cabinets as well (I said I needed to move a bit more)
they are black wood and came up lovely too
The table and chairs just soaked up the polish
it was very dry.
I picked a little bunch of roses from the garden
It was going to be 42 c the next day so planned to rest all day,
but that's me,all or nothing.LOL
I plan to get into the rest of the furniture next week
See you then
Happy Polishing
I am joining most of my usual linky parties this week
They are listed on my side bar and are well worth checking out
it's a good chance to see some new blogs and there are some lovely ones out there.
Still time to enter my give away drawn on Australia day 26th January

Everything looks wonderful, I will try this because most furniture polish seems to upset my nose and as you could use any perfume I will try strawberry it smells great.

Thanks for the cleaning recipe, your furniture it seems to work a treat. It feels good doesn't it once everything has had a good clean, if only the dust would then just not come back!!
What a beautiful polish! My place sure needs a going over. I live on a very dusty rural road so it's non-stop. I'll have to remember your recipe!
Your hutch looks great, that recipe is really cool, who would have thought two simple interments could work such magic.
Nothing like nice, clean, polished furniture, is there? Great to know. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on the monster in our basement, happily now tamed. I too need to start selling some stuff--one of my intentions for this year! You have beautiful things on your blog...wonderful talent you have! ~Zuni
Great tip! I will definitely have to try this. Thanks for sharing :)

You were busy...but what a big job done! Doesn't it feel good to accomplish something like that. Visiting from Cowgirl Up @ StoneGable.
Wow, I'll have to try this! Pinning it to my cleaning board. I try to do reviews/tests from my Pinterest board on my regular Tuesday 411 on Cleaning posts. If I ever use this, I'll be sure to link back to you, thanks!
