Creamy Furniture Polish

CREAMY FURNITURE POLISH Grate 2 1/2 ounces of beeswax into a tin can. Melt the wax by placing the can in a pan of preheated water. Blend 1 cup of turpentine with the melted wax. Using a separate vessel, dissolve 2 tablespoons of powdered rosin and 1 ounce of Castile soap in 2 cups of water. Add this to the turpentine mixture. Store the creamy polish in a glass jar. For use, rub a little at a time on furniture and polish with a dry soft cloth.

Remember that although the cleansers presented here are homemade and environmentally friendly, they must be properly labelled, kept out of the reach of children and stored safely at all times.

Test any cleaner in an inconspicuous place before use.

1 tsp = 5 mL
1-1/2 tsp = 8 mL

1/2 cup = 120 mL
3/4 cup = 180 mL
1 cup = 240 mL
1-1/2 cups = 360 mL
4 cups = 1 L
6 cups = 1.5 L
