Seem to remember someone suggested a really strong tea solution (about 2 tea bags to a cup of water).
But that might have been to remove polish (to make tables shine when they look dull because they have been over polished) :-/
I'll see if I can find itWhen life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt0 -

olive oil and a drop of lemon juice is the biz for the wood and the leather suite
just wipe it on let it dry for a min or so and buff it off

I use one of those California duster things. Cost me £16 which was expensive but it lasted 10 yrs. You can get them from pound shops now! I only ever use polish if there are sticky fingerprints about. Too much polish makes your furniture sticky and makes the fingerpirnt prob worse.Life's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.0

got to say though, that the best polish ive ever had was the Adritt polish from liddl 49p0

also - i heard recently that you can dust with watered down fabric softener, and that it works really well as its anti-static so stops dust gathering?! could be a load of rubbish, but its what my friends mum told me!Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -

Shame on you 160. Get your Lakeland catalogue out - the Home Solutions one - and you'll find the Californian Dusters on page 23 (in the Autumn issue one which I've got here. They'll be on their website as well but haven't mastered how to do links and stuff yet0
