Polishing and waxing wood furniture doesn’t need to be a headache, all you need is a rag, a soft bristle brush and a buffing cloth. Oh and of course either the desired wood polish or wood wax.

Polish: Follow these steps if you’re polishing your wood furniture.

1. Use a clean rag and apply the polish directly on the wood. Wipe with the grain, never against it.
2. If your furniture contains intricate marks on the wood, use the soft bristled brush and polish in a circular motion.
3. If your wood looks like it needs another polish, then it probably does. Apply another layer and wait for the polish to saturate.
4. Buff with cloth to remove any excess polish.

Wax: Follow these steps if you’re polishing your wood furniture

1. Use a clean rag and apply a small amount of wax and start wiping with the grain.
2. When waxed fully, let it set for a few hours.
3. If you feel as if the wood needs another coating, repeat the same steps again.
4. Buff with cloth to remove any excess wax.
