Natural Wood Cleaner and Restorer
Restore tables, door posts, cabinets and more with this recipe. Mix together 1 cup of water and one cup of vinegar in a spray bottle. Add in a tbsp of olive oil and mix well. Spray the mixture directly on surfaces and wipe down with a rag. Make sure to shake this cleaner frequently since oil and vinegar will separate.
