Traditional furniture polish
At SR&R we specialise in restoring and repairing solid timber furniture. Our timber care products are a result of our drive for the very best in wooden furniture maintenance an restoration. Every SR&R timber care product has been developed by our woodwork restoration team and is made by us in New Zealand.
Our Cedarwood and Beeswax furniture polish is a traditional polish recipe with no thinners, polyurethanes or chemicals of any sort. It is simply coconut oil from a local wholesaler, beeswax from a local beekeeper and some essential oils (including Himalayan cedar wood oil). These ingredients are mixed in the perfect ratio for conditioning and polishing your timber furniture. (The ratios and what the oils are - that's a secret sorry)
Before we get into the usage instructions, please remember the cardinal rule of all furniture care treatments - spot check in an inconspicuous place first!
To use, simply scoop some polish on to a soft lint-free cloth and rub the wax into the timber in the direction of the grain. Leave to condition the wood for 3-4 minutes (longer if the wood is very old and dry) and the buff off the residue with a second, clean lint-free cloth. For pieces of furniture with a large build up of dirt or where the existing polish is in bad shape, you can use 0000 steel wool for the application step.
One more thing to note - this is not a penetrating or seasoning wax. Cedarwood & Beeswax Furniture Polish is best used on pieces of furniture with an existing finish.
