You don't need to buy an expensive bottle of extra virgin olive oil - any type of olive oil will do the trick.
Olive oil is a wonder in the human home, and now you can use it for cleaning too. Here are 13 ideas on how to use it:
Furniture Care and Cleaning
Want to clean your wooden furniture naturally? Olive oil is an excellent option! Simply wipe the surfaces with a soft cloth dipped in a little olive oil immediately after dusting. Olive oil will restore the shine to your furniture and give it a pleasant appearance.
You can also use a mixture of olive oil and the juice from half a lemon to clean stubborn stains on wood. Just apply the mixture to the stain with a cloth and rub gently until the stain is removed. After the oil is applied, it will leave a pleasant lemon scent in the room.
Tip
The solution resulting from olive oil and lemon can be slightly harmful to certain surfaces, as lemon is an acidic food. Therefore, it is best to test it on a small, hidden area before using it on the entire piece of furniture.
It is preferable to discard the remaining solution; the mixture works best when freshly prepared.
Olive oil will help restore and maintain the shine of stainless steel pieces
You can use olive oil to polish your bathroom. Take a clean cloth and pour a little olive oil onto it. Wipe the faucet, handle, and other surfaces with the cloth.
Olive oil will protect these surfaces from water and soap scum while giving them a beautiful, long-lasting shine.
Apply the oil, let it work for a few minutes, then wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth. Olive oil will help you restore the shine to your bathroom faucet without investing too much time and effort. No need for more expensive products!
Leather Furniture Care
If you have an expensive leather sofa, don't worry about using olive oil to clean and polish it.
Olive oil has been used for centuries to care for leather because it is a natural product that will not damage the material.
To clean leather furniture, simply wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in a little olive oil.
You don't need to use much, just enough to make the surface shine. If you have stubborn stains, you can mix the olive oil with lemon juice (as mentioned earlier) and apply it to the stain. Then polish with a clean, dry cloth.
