Orange Furniture Polish

Recipe:

Put orange peel in a 1 litre bottle. The bottle should be 60% peel, 30% water and 10% empty. Don’t put the lid too lightly so that gas can escape.

Tip. Cut the peels as fine as possible so that they disintegrate faster.

Keep in a cool dry place for around three months till the orange peels dissolve completely. The concentrate is now ready to use.

Take a 500ml spray bottle. Fill it with 100ml orange concentrate, 100ml linseed oil ( I use Cat brand double boiled linseed oil available in most paint shops), 20ml neem oil, 100ml water, 100 ml white vinegar. Shake well before use.

Clean the wooden surface with a damp cloth. Spray the shaken liquid and rub till it dries off. You will get a nice fruity smell, shiny furniture with termite protection. Use once a week or month depending upon the surface wear and tear.
