Apparently using polish is now considered old fashioned.

No, it's not you. Spray polish, lavender wax polish in a tin are all seemingly a super-strong pong! And the spray polishes are dreadfully synthetic - the smell seems to cling to the wallpaper for ages!

Spray woodsilk polis, no silicone, no addedd odour, just the small of wax and gone in 24 hours. Good wood furniture should only be polished once a year.

Thanks Merlotgran

I have never used those spray cans but use either beeswax or proper furniture polish in a small round tin. All our furniture is real wood and in my opinion needs caring for properly.

years ago Mum always used to use supermarket polish spray but the lady she cleaned for had proper Pledge so I thought that was posh make! Mum also had a tin with proper beeswax in for wooden items, I would have thought with all the return to natural items then I would assume beeswax would be more popular again.
I must admit I dont have much good wood furniture so tend to use wipes find with all the dust and dog hairs it stops it floating around while dusting then resettling on surfaces plus you can dispose of later

^I used to use spray pledge 50 years ago after I'd hidden any dirty dishes in the oven ,I sprayed the rooms with it and my late MIL always said ,someones been working hard....lol^

My MIL advised me to hide dirty dishes in the oven if someone was coming.
I never thought of the Pledge idea.

We have a big, full length mirror on the wall just inside the front door. A quick spray of Mr Sheen (or Asda equivalent) is enough to give anyone arriving soon afterwards the impression that I’ve been cleaning!

Haven't used. Chemicals for a while. Vinegar and bicarb are my go too for all things greasy.

I've always used Pledge, for dusting furniture. For my painted baseboards I use a damp cloth. I have one of those swiffer dusting wands for light fixtures and quick dusting on shelves.
