What is the best furniture polish?

1 Answer
What is the best furniture polish?
The best furniture polish depends on the material of your furniture. For instance, for some pieces, an oil would work best and for others, a wax would be better. On unfinished wood, oil is your best bet. Wax is great for a sheen-finish and will last for about a year.
