All of us can establish a healthier home and at the same time save alot of money by replacing chemical furniture polish with thishomemade formula: 2 parts olive oil and 1 part lemon juice. Mix itall together until blended well. You can do this in a blender or

food processor to get the items to emulsify, in the same way thatyou would make salad dressing.To use, simply apply a small amount of the mixture with a soft clothand buff to a shine. Use sparingly! A little of this mixture will go

a long way. It is best to start with a small amount on your cloth,adding more as necessary. If you leave too much oil on furniture itwill act as a magnet to attract the dust you're trying to avoid.

You may prefer to use jojoba oil instead of olive oil if you canfind it (look in a health food store). Jojoba is a natural liquidwax that has no scent and will not become rancid. No lemon juicehandy? Use white distilled vinegar in its place.

Do not make large batches of this furniture polish, because unlikethe canned stuff, these natural ingredients will lose theireffectiveness in time. It is best to make up a small batch of theamount you will need at the time, or no more than you will use in a

month. Store in a very clean container like a squeeze or spraybottle. Label the container and keep it out of reach of children. Itis always a good idea to test anything new in an inconspicuous placefirst. Then give yourself a little time to get used to this new kind

of furniture polish. If you've been using the aerosol-typecommercial furniture polishes, you may find this method a bit moretedious. But give it a chance and try it for a month. I did. I amconfident that the cost savings together with breathable air as you

clean will convince you to make the change permanent.FromMary Hunt is the creator of The Cheapskate Monthly newsletter, whichcan be ordered online at
