How often do you polish your wood furniture?

And what do you use?
I'm afraid of buildup, but want to protect it from scratches/drying out.

Re: How often do you polish your wood furniture?

My bedroom is dark, & luckily no pets yet. I have a wood kitchen table & a few other wood pieces throughout the house.

Really, everyday? I thought too much wasnt good.

weve had our furniture for almost 4 years now and they seem to be holding up fine. Just make sure you spray the papertowel/rag then wipe it down, don't spray the furniture directly

I was told from a high end furniture store never more than twice a year.

Check out Guardsman Dusting Cloths, this is what I use weekly.

I use them now, & I'm almost out, that's what sparked my question. Where do you buy yours?

I buy mine from a local hardware store. I am sure Amazon has them as well.

I swiffer a few times a week and pledge once a week. Always have. Never had an issue. I don't feel like just dusting cleans things. Especially the kitchen table

Kitchen Table- clean almost every day with a light murphys & water solution, polish with lemon oil every few months.

Den - Murphys about weekly, polish maybe every month

LR/DR/BR dry dust every week or so and polish maybe every other month

Me? Never.

I have a cleaning lady that comes 2x a month, I'm assuming she does something to it, but who knows.

Maybe I should try that. Do you know the parts? This in particular I feel like is drying out form all the use.Chat Icon
