Coconut Oil Use No# 101: IRON FURNITURE

There are at least 100 uses for coconut oil, well there is one more to add. I use this oil on my iron kitchen chairs and table as well as an iron curio. When I used a damp cloth or multipurpose cleaners they left the finish dull and using a furniture polish like Pledge put a little too much shine on the finsh as well as making the furniture surfaces greasy and slippery. Coconut oil does a WONDERFUL job giving the finish a bit of a shine, highlights and allows the actual color of the piece to show and leaves no trace of greasiness or residue.

These are the two pieces of furniture i will use for demonstration.

I use a folded paper towel and apply about 3 drops of the coconut oil to the surface of the furniture, it doesn't take much oil to get the job done. Just wipe the oil on the surface and then use a soft cloth to buff the surface and done.
