Natural DIY Furniture Polishes

DIY Natural Furniture Polishes 

There are so many products out there that can help you keep dust and dirt to a minimum on your furniture. Recently, I started making my own cleaning products. I have found some great ways to polish and shine just about every piece of furniture I own this way. Sometimes, the DIY version is better than the store-bought! If you were interested in making some of your own furniture polishes that are natural and smell amazing, check out the recipes for DIY natural Furniture polishes below, as well as, my tips for keeping dust to a minimum.

Natural Ways to Minimize Dust

Consider getting an air purifier

Air purifiers are an amazing way to keep the air in your home clean and less full of allergens. They also help a great deal with dust. Get an air purifier if allergies are a big problem for you. There are air purifiers that are great for any budget, too. I’ve seen them for as little as $30 all the way up to hundreds of dollars. Occasionally, I even see them at thrift stores. Just be careful buying from a thrift store as you may be bringing other things in. Inspect the machine to make sure it works and is fairly clean.

Try to control the dust mite population in your home.

Another way to control dust in your home naturally is to control the dust mite population. This is done by simply changing linens on a regular basis, vacuuming, as well as not providing a good home for dust mites. Dust mites like warm, damp areas, so try to keep your home temperate and consider getting a dehumidifier to keep the air dryer as well.
