What makes our furniture polish different?
August 9, 2013Many furniture polishes are just oil, but did you know that the best solution for your timber furniture is a mix of both oil and wax?
Putting a little oil polish on a rag and giving the furniture a quick once-over is fast, but you’ll wind up needing to dust twice as often. Oils attract dust rather than repelling it, so while the furniture will sparkle and look wonderful right after it’s been polished, it will quickly look dusty again and some of that dust will mix in with the oil, making the furniture increasingly difficult to clean and easier to scratch.
Liquid waxes are somewhat better than oils – they do create a surface coating on the wood that will help the dust slide off the furniture instead of sticking to it, but the protection doesn’t last long.
The best protection for your wood furniture is Bermagui Oil with beeswax – the traditional natural furniture polish. The oil will feed the wood and enhance its natural beauty, and the beeswax will provide a protective film.
