How to restore original beauty to fine antiques and wood furniture without having to strip, stain and varnish the finish.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Natural bristle paint brush
  • Tooth brush (hard bristle)
  • 0000 Steel Wool (extra fine)
  • Protective plastic gloves
  • Lemon Oil Beeswax Polish

    Everyone loves to have a beautiful looking finish on their wood furniture ESPECIALLY ANTIQUES! Rescue and restore fine furniture, wicker,
    rattan, metal and marble. Avoid kitchen cabinet facing.

    No extreme measure needs to be taken to beautify wood furniture or cabinetry. Very often, wood furniture does not have to be stripped and refinished to regain its beauty. In fact, stripping and refinishing can devalue fine furniture and antiques! As long as the finish is intact, Lemon Oil Beeswax will carefully remove years of silicone, oil, dirt, grease and grime, mold and mildew.

    Apply Lemon Oil Beeswax with a natural bristle tooth brush, paint brush or a soft cloth.

Tips & Warnings
  • Lemon Oil Beeswax removes rust, cleans and polishes your metal hardware, old tools and metal toys and inhibits rust from coming back!
  • For a finish that has become dry and rough - crumple a brown paper bag and rub over surface with Lemon Oil Beeswax. It will sand the area smooth. Amazing results on oak, pine, mahogany, cedar, ash, cherry, painted, vine, bamboo and teak woods.
  • Protect Guitars and other wood instruments
  • We strongly recommend that you DO NOT USE water and/or soapy water on wood furniture! To do so you run the risk of loosening veneer, glued joints, raising the grain and damaging the finish.
