In my quest for a chemical free home, I am making my own homemade Pledge. I did some research, and decided that I was going to mix a couple of recipes together. So here it is, my Homemade Furniture Spray Polish.
Ingredients:
1 cup olive oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup lemon juice
10 drops tea tree oil
5 drips lemon essential oil
 |
| Cut Lemons |
 |
| Olive Oil and Water |
 |
| Fresh Lemon Juice & Olive Oil and Water |
Put all ingredients in a spray bottle and shake before each use. I have added tea tree oil and lemon essential oil for their antibacterial qualities. I figure with all of the animals in my house I wanted to make sure that the furniture is really clean.

Will defintely try this, thanks for sharing!I make my own cleaning products but mine are based on white vinegar. This lemony one should smell much fresher and nicer!
ReplyDeleteHi Angela,
DeleteI went back and forth as to whether I should use vinegar in this with the lemon, or water. Water won out this time. I don't love the smell of vinegar. Let me know what you think.

What a great idea! I'm shying away from chemicals myself. Thanks for sharing!
