Old English furniture polish

[Kirsten]

Kinda got a lump in my gut, right now. My desk in the den where I keep my G. rosea was in desperate need of a polish and I did just that. Of course, in doing so I start thinking "What is this stuff,and is it going to hurt Charlotte?!" The ingredients are petroleum distillates and states harmful or fatal if swallowed. I've opened the window, and will move her to another room until the smell goes away.

Does anyone know anything about this polish or use it? Thanks

as a rule of thumb, I don't use any chemicals that have noxious fumes in the room with my T's. I even try not to use any chemicals in there whatsoever.

Use bees wax furniture polish. It's better for the wood and for you. We only use bees wax. It's highly recomended for antique furniture as it protects and doesn't disturb the patina.

This is what I was thinking as well. I do know that when polishing, once you start with an oil-based product, you must always use an oil-based product, and the same with wax-based products. To switch, you must strip the furniture first. Darn. I'm just going to use bees wax, where ever you find that, and hope for the best.
