I think it’s time to plug my favorite furniture polish. Howard Feed-N-Wax is a simple blend of beeswax, carnauba wax, and orange oil that you just put on a cloth and rub on until your furniture can’t soak up any more. It works much better than Pledge and does a fantastic job of protecting wood. I use it every time I dust (once every two months or so – don’t come near my house with a white glove!!) to keep our wood furniture happy and protected. It smells great too – it’s hard to beat orange oil! Here in Moscow you can find it at Tri-State and the little antique store down on the corner of C St. and North Main.
