Refinish Antiques or Revitalize Wood: Use equal parts of linseed oil, white vinigar, and turpentine. Rub into furniture (or wood) with soft cloth and lots of elbow grease.
For Ease in Sliding: Rub wax along sliding door, windows and wooden drawers that stick.
A Simple Polish: For copper bottom cookware: equal portions of flour and salt made into a paste with vinegar. Keep in refrigerator
Instant coffee will work wonders on your furniture. Just make a thick paste of your favorite instant coffee and a little wather, and rub it into the nicks and scratches on your dark wood furniture.
For a spicy aroma, toss dried orange and lemon rinds into your fireplace.

I wish I had found this years ago. My husband did some funky things with my furniture.

I have some furniture that needs redone. I will try this. Thanks for the info. We were just talking at Christmas time that our table and chairs needed refinished.
