Green Ingredient Essentials
Used sparingly, these light conditioners add luster without leaving heavy residue. Fractionated coconut oil resists rancidity, while olive oil lends a warm glow. Have a preference? Share your results, ratios, and any lingering scent notes you’ve noticed over time.
DIY Recipes for Every Finish
Combine distilled water, a small splash of white vinegar, and a teaspoon of fractionated coconut oil in a reusable spray bottle. Mist lightly, wipe with microfiber, and buff. Share your go-to proportions, and tell us how it performs on high-traffic tables.
Application Techniques and Tools
Work with the grain using a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth for initial dusting, then a dry cloth for buffing. Small circles can help in corners. Share your toughest edge detail and how you approached it without over-saturating the wood.
