How to Make Your Own Furniture Polish - You can make your own furniture polish using common household items and one of these DIY furniture polish recipes.

A while ago I discovered some walnut oil that expired. I shared on my Facebook page how annoyed I was that it had gotten pushed to the back and forgotten. One of my friends told me if I was concerned about using it in recipes, I could use it as  furniture polish. What an amazing save! I have used my expired walnut oil as furniture polish and it works quite well.

How to Make Your Own Furniture Polish

I realize that not everyone has walnut oil sitting in their cupboards, so I have rounded up seven homemade furniture polish recipes, so you can find a DIY furniture polish tutorial that uses ingredients sitting in your pantry.

If you don’t feel comfortable making your own furniture polish, I recommend Method Wood for Good Furniture Polish. I find it is very effective and has fewer chemicals than other leading furniture polishes.

Frugal Dust Cloth tip: Use old cloth diapers to polish your furniture. They are super soft and absorbent. They also are quite durable. I am dusting with 25 year old cloth diapers from my first child. They are faded and frayed, but they still do the job. If you don’t have any old cloth diapers on hand, you should be able to find some at your local thrift store.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
