Want your furniture to shine every time you dust but don't want the expense or time it takes to polish? I recently discovered how to make your own oiled dusting cloths. Here's what you need:
- 1/4 cup of lemon oil
- 2 cups of hot water
- soft, reusable cloths (I used handiwipes so that they didn't get mixed in with other cloths)
Mix lemon water and hot water in a bucket and soak cloths (4 or so at a time) for 10 minutes. Wring out and hang to dry. When cloths are dry, store in an airtight container. Doesn't that smell lovely? Dust away! :) When cloths are dirty, simply wash and reoil. I was able to use a whole package (36) of handiwipes in the one recipe, so I'll be dusting for awhile before I have to reoil any cloths. :)

This is a wonderful idea. I always like to keep homemade recipes like this is my binder. Keeps me from having to depend on the manufacturers when I can make the very same product myself.
When it came time to dust...I wasn't too happy with the results. I wound up spraying the cloths with endust...:(
