    We go round supermarkets smelling products - have had quite a few funny looks. when you use olive oil does it leave a film or smear? Even some of the hard polishes have cheap carriers in them + the worlds favourit..... ALOVERA
    Shaving foams and gels now contain the blessed stuff my skins nice and smooth but mottled like a boozer. We tend to use diluted beach to clean hard surfaces but my guess is that before long the pereshing stuff will be added

    thanks for the ideas

    Hi

    I am new to OS and I currently use vinegar and lemon juice with some water to clean my kitchen and bathroom surfaces. I think these are too acidic for my (very cheap Ikea) furniture.

    So what do you use when you dust your furniture? Is there a cheap environmentally-friendly furniture polish?

    Thanks Marlina

    Found this on eBay. Is this what you use?

    Hi missed this post, but tried ebay anyway and found it myself, It's come, but no spray, so will save a bottle and decant at some stage.

    Thanks

    what's the OS and more environmentally responsible alternative?

    Not that I use furniture polish very often, so probably not a problem if it isn't massively money saving. But you know, cheaper is good. As a rule.

    I'm nearly out of Mr Sheen. What are my options?

    Cheers

    Use beeswax or a spare amount of olive oil
