Polish wood sans chemicals

A natural way to spiff up your coffee table: Combine 1 part lemon juice and 2 parts coconut oil in a bowl, then use a soft cloth to rub the mixture over the furniture’s surface until the liquid is absorbed. The lemon juice dissolves dirt while the oil seeps into the wood’s pores to lock in moisture, leaving the surface gleaming.
