20 Best Lemon Oil For Wood (2023 Updated)

I was looking for a polish that left a hard, shiny and non-stick finish, even slippery. I wanted one that I could use and then do work on with papers and not have the papers stick to it but easily slide on it.

And this polish does all that. For me it is almost ideal scene. But, for me it has one negative, which to me is important: It has too strong of a scent. I would have preferred unscented entirely, but I just could not find a good unscented polish that also did all the above.

I did find one unscented polish, Heirloom, and it was OK really. But I actually prefer the finish that I get from this Old English spray. But again, the scent is what keeps me from giving it a 5 star rating.

If Old English had an unscented product, hey, then we’d be in Fat City.

Small container but goes a long way. Used it for some old oak kitchen cabinets that had some deep scratches. It covers up most of the scratches though deep gashes were still slightly visible. The color seems to match perfectly as long as it is dark wood in tone.

Recommend using gloves as it can stain your hands. The smell was not overwhelming which was great for sensitive noses like mine!.

Upon applying I noticed a petroleum odor, not a lemon scent. I polished my dining room table and chairs. They looked lovely. The next morning, all pieces were dull and cloudy. I spoke with Cedric who said to use a white vinegar and water solution.

After wiping each piece, again, my furniture was okay. I called back to ask for reimbursement but Jessica told me they could only send me a coupon for the same product. No thanks!.

I think this polish is brilliant, and so glad I found it via one of JL’s marketing emails about spring cleaning. I’ve now used it on a couple of mid-century armchairs, which I believe are made from afromosia (African teak).

I loved the dark wood before, but after a quick buff with Parker & Bailey the wood looks even richer and has a light sheen it didn’t have before (this is perhaps the closest they have looked to what they would have been like new in a long time).

Said polish has also reduced the obviousness of some light marks each piece has attained over the years. The polish is easy to use and absorbs very quickly. I used to use teak oil/Danish oil thinking these were the best for vintage wood.

I am now a convert to this lemon oil polish and will look at the other items in their range as they seem to be very effective. Lastly, anyone concerned about the fragrance should not worry – it is very light and soon dissipates.

I only wish I had taken a ‘before’ photo to compare the before and after, but was not inclined as I simply didn’t expect the results I’ve achieved!.

In my utility room is a wooden work surface around the sink. After more than a dozen years, it looked patchy and parched. I tried this oil on a small patch and couldn’t believe my eyes, so I left it overnight to see if it was only a temporary effect.

It wasn’t and now the whole area has been transformed and the bottle still looks full. I will be trying this on the wooden garden furniture come next spring.

I have been using this polish for a few years now. A bottle lasts a long time, you only need to put a small amount onto a soft cloth. It takes care of all types of unvarnished wood by replacing natural oils.

Leaves a beautiful sheen and a lovely smell.

I used this oil to restore some high end electric and acoustic guitars. It is awesome on fret/fingerboards and wooden acoustic bridges. Just a quick rub first with 0000 steel wool then rub this oil on with a clean cloth.

Brings out all the beautiful figuring in the wood. Prevents cracking from over-dry air regions that dehydrate the wood too much. Must have product for nice wood.

I absolutely love this product. It brought back an old wooden stool and table back to life and looking sharp. I would highly recommend this lemon oil. I love the fact that the maker has thought of putting a tiny hole for the oil to come out.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product!!.

Bought 6 bottles to treat dining room table and chairs, also treated wood doors in the house. Oil really soaked in and left a fine luster and shine that furniture polish don’t. China cabinets look brand new also.

Try this and you will be satisfied I sure was!!.

I was under the impression that I was buying the Furniture Polish. just like the polish I have used for years. Not so! This is a Multi-purpose cleaner which I dislike such product. I will not be using this on my wood furniture.

the last time I used a similar multi-purpose product, it striped a layer of varnish, thus leaving my wood table vulnerable to more damage.

I remember my grandmother and mother cleaning with the original Lemon Milsek. I use it for a lot more than just furniture, thanks to the “uses” on the bottle. Great stuff! The review on here about it removing the cabinet finish is hard to believe.

Unless this person had an enormous wax buildup from previous treatment. Wax and Silicones are terrible for furniture!! So happy that I found the large bottles at WalMart. com!.

I bought a lot of antique furniture from a dealer , cabinet maker in Philadelphia and he told me about Milsek. He used it on some beautiful , expense pieces in his shop. I have used this product for many years and have been totally happy with the warm luster it adds and the way it cleans and preserves my antique and more current pieces.

I would recommend this product to anyone who loves beautiful wood.

A great product that I enjoy using on my 100 year old wooden floors and my miscellaneous wooden furniture.

Milsek cleaned my kitchen cabinets and made them look new. I mixed with water according to the directions and cleaned my hardwood floors. Milsek did a great job cleaning my floors and left them shining.

It even covered the fine scratch marks. AAAA++++++.

After years unable to find a suitable product to treat our teak furniture, discovered this cream. Brings all the colour back and treats scratches and stains. Does not work miracles but vast improvement.

Economical to use. Thoroughly recommend.

I buy this for a friend who can’t get it in his area anymore. He loves it. He uses it on his kitchen table. He says it leaves the wood looking great and protects it.

The furniture milk is one of the best ieper purchased. Beautiful smell and greatshine after application. Will definitely buy again.

Hello, Old English Lemon Oil furniture polish (OELOFP) we meet again! Used to use this regularly on house surfaces and loved it. The entire house had very old wood floors (after cleaning by hot cotton mop, ie, mopping floors with liberal doses of Murphy’s Oil Soap) then a rinse, then a buff with a soft mop with Old English – this routine we had kept the very nicked up, seasoned 60 year old floors looking very presentable.

This was years before Swiffer came along, as you can tell! OELOF polish brought out the character of the floors, so to speak. Always, guests would comment how nice it looked and smelled even as the house was obviously so old.

Also used OELOFP on a set of wall length bookcases, which is a lot of wood but this made it simple and effective, leaving a nice fragrance afterwards. For the dining table, it brought back out any circles from cup and glass rings, whether it was milk, wine or whatever got left.

The polish brought it right back to normal again. Well, that’s all gone now, downsizing has occurred at least a few times now and items passed on or sold. Now, only have a couple items of the value ie, are nice enough wood for this polish.

Will use it again, as before, to bring those two remaining wood items back to life today! Some reviewers mentioned that the formula may have changed. I hope not! I received mine today and will update this as I see how it brings my 100 year old wood gate leg dining table and my Indonesian recycled teak garden chair to shining, healthy, oiled wood status.

Recommend this and Walmart gives us 10oz/plastic bottle/nice price. Thanks Walmart!.

Shortly before his death, my dear uncle made a table for me, from untreated, heavy gauge red oak. He was a master carpenter, so he did it without screws or nails. He used the traditional mortice and tenon method.

It’s one of my most treasured possessions. We decided to let the natural beauty of the oak speak for itself- not to varnish it. Indeed, to let the beauty of the wood be seen, I had a piece of plate glass cut for the table top, so you can see all of it, all the time.

It is simple but elegant. I care for it by using Old English Lemon Oil. I lay it on thick with a cloth, and the wood drinks it in. I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I wouldn’t use anything else.

Old English lemon oil is a wonderful product – used it on my furniture for decades. However, Walmart’s transportation of the product was not satisfactory. The lid was not tight and came off in route.

The box and every other box on my porch that day where saturated. If the bottle had tape over the top or was in a plastic bag, it wouldn’t have caused such havoc. No replacement or refund have been forthcoming.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleWhat a waste! My mistake, I assumed since the product was $9. 89, it was the larger bottle. Nope, what arrived (9 days after I ordered) was a small bottle packed in a reinforced cardboard box like it was something precious.

There were 3 other things on this order and all three came on different days. The outrageous price, slow shipping, total waste of our natural resources with the packing and separate shipping is beyond stupid! Walmart, I understand you source from different places but you need to do better, MUCH better, with your quality control!.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleOld English oil has been in my household for years. Have tried other furniture polish and I return to Old English because it penetrates the wood and stays soft and shiny for months.

I use my husband’s old t-shirts to wipe off the oil and another t-shirt to buff. The sheen stays on for months and all I do is remove the dust with a duster. This works for me. It has really gone up in price and the bottle is a smaller size.

I use this on the inside of all my acoustic guitars , a part that mostly gets neglected and is really dry. I use a very small bottle about 2 inches long that has a very fine mist and stick my hand “with the spray bottle” inside the guitar body and lightly mist the inside being careful not too saturate the wood.

From my experience,it doesn’t affect the glue on the bindings and it makes the sound richer , deeper, and higher at the same time it increases the sustain also. I love this product, too me it’s the best wood conditioner.

I use this lemon oil treatment on my wood furniture instead of furniture polish. It keeps your wood from drying out. Surface should be clean before using. Apply according to directions and let it soak in.

Allow to dry on its own. This gives your fine wood furniture a nice sheen instead of a high-glass finish. I apply monthly. A little goes a long way, Keep it away from kids and pets, and separately wash the rags you use to apply it.

WORKS AS I REMEMBER. HARD TO FINE IN STORES ANYMORE. USED ON 128 YEAR OLD WOOD HANDLES THAT WERE LIKE MUMMY DUST. IT SAVED THE WOOD. USE IT ONCE A WEEK FORE DUSTING ON OTHER WOOD ITEMS. I ALWAYS TRUST FORMBYS PRODUCTS,.

This will dissolve the gunk off the shower walls, tub and metal faucets. Careful not to leave any in the floor it’s slick. It’s a great polish on wood. I can’t do without it. Makes cleaning easier because it cuts through grease and grime.

Leave it on, go back and wipe clean.

Great stuff. The UV index in the Mojave Desert is usually 10-11 during the summer. Very tough on my patio furniture. This stuff works!

Excellent product for real wood furniture and it produces and long-lasting shine, as well as, cleaning the furniture too. This product holds the reflective luster far longer than any can spray furniture polish and cleaner does.

This goes beyond cleaning and dusting. It provides a coat of protection for your furniture. It restores the natural wood and makes it shine as it protects. When you use Old English Furniture Polish on your wood furniture, you are not only polishing the finish but also reinforcing it to protect your favorite pieces from everyday wear and tear and keep them looking brand new.

Old English Wood Polish Aerosol contains a protective shield to help protect from watermarks as well as crayon, wax and various other stains. It also makes the furniture smell good, the aroma stays in the room for several hours.

I prefer the style and quality of older, vintage furniture pieces. This means I usually have to put some work into them to get them looking good again. Over the winter I picked up a beautiful phone desk, but the finish needed some help.

It was slightly discolored, had no shine, and there were a few scratches on the top. The weather wasn’t going to allow me to refinish the desk outside and I didn’t want the mess indoors so I decided to try Old English Lemon Oil in the meantime.

I was impressed by the results. Performance Old English Lemon Oil made my desk look almost new again. It moisturized the aged wood, gave it a brilliant shine, and improved the color. It really helped to bring out the natural grains in the wood and evened out the color in the finish beautifully.

I wasn’t expecting such great results and I am glad I decided to give the product a chance. My desk didn’t have to hide in the winter waiting for some touch ups, but got to compliment my hall decor instead.

It does still need to be refinished, but this product allowed me to delay that. I have since used Old English Lemon Oil on all my wood furniture and it has improved the look on every piece. This is not the most convenient product to use, but the results are well worth it and it lasts for weeks.

Scent The scent is light, refreshing, and natural.

Old English aerosol polish is easy to use and even sort of fun to apply. And the stuff works very well — it cleans, conditions, and shines your wood and other surfaces. The lemon scent is pleasant. Highly recommend.

Before I used Orange Glo 2-In-1. but I wanted something that was no longer oily. Reviewing the information from Old English I liked that it said that it was not oily and that it works in all wood tones, dark, medium and light.

I used it in a new dining room, cleaned it of the dust that was not looked at and it was without residues. Then I cleaned some rustic furniture and cleaning without marks or residues.

I only use this on my wood floors, rails and furniture. I love this product and only use this. nothing else. I dont like oil products. My kids love to slip and slide when I used this to wax my wooden floors.

Pregnant ladies would have to be cautious haha. I’m glad to be able to find a product I can use for life to clean and sustain all my wood works. I’ve tried pledge before and it just doesn’t do it for me.

My mother in law also asks me what I use. its my secret ;).

I am not brand-loyal to furniture polish. I think the last four I’ve bought have all been different brands, and the last one I bought was **Old English Furniture Polish**. I think it was the price and the “fresh lemon” scent that got me, but regardless, I love it.

I might even buy it again! Performance Old English Furniture Polish cleans, polishes and protects wooden furniture. I like that it doesn’t leave a waxy, greasy residue behind like many others do. I also like that it cleans my kid’s food off the wooden dining table very easily.

The bottle says that it also protects wood from watermarks and stains. Scent As far as cleaning products go, this one is pretty good. Not as good as my Sun & Earth All Purpose Cleaner that is orange scented, but that one doesn’t clean wood either.

Old English Furniture Polish comes in a “Fresh Lemon” scent that I do like.

The product contains no silicates and also protects what is coated from UV. Obviously I cant test the claims but Ive been applying it to the finished teak interior of a European boat, with great results.

I typically use my wood cleaner for both my wood furniture and items as well as my stainless steel appliances because wood polish seems to work the best on them without scratching or streaking. This brand did not work well on everything I needed it too.

It left streaks on many of my items and I was not a huge fan of the smell it left. Would not buy again.

I am a professional house keeper and i am a pledge polish advocate, until now! for stainless steel I’ll still use pledge, ot just works best, but for wood this is my new go to! restores and protects, left gorgeous shine, and helped disguise scuffs from long long ago.

doesnt leave the surface waxy either.

This is the Best polish ever. However, the spray on this one can doesn’t spray out neatly. I have already started Spring Cleaning so I can deal with it. I hope other spray cans work better.
