    Works GREAT! I used lemon juice because I didn't have a lime and it worked just fine. My DH and I bought an antique dinning room table and china cabinet and it needed some cleaning. Pledge was expensive and still left the wood dull after it dried. Char, your polish did the trick!!! My furniture looks beautiful now! I will NEVER buy the commercial furniture polish again! Thanks for sharing!

    This worked awesome! I actually didn't have either ingredients so I used olive oil and lemon juice. The true test was 12 hours later. It was perfect, no streaks!! Thanks
