DIY Wooden Furniture Balm!

Hello again, savvy savers! Today finds us with a new Thrifty Thursday Post, and today it’s my recipe for DIY Wood Balm! This is my go-to recipe for cleaning, prepping, and conditioning my kitchen cabinets, cutting boards, salad bowls, and storage containers! I make my blend for under $3.00, which lasts for over a year at a stint.

Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients: 

• 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
• 2 Tablespoons Mineral Oil
• 20 Drops Essential Lemon Oil
• 8 Ounces Beeswax

How to make this Balm:

1. Meltdown 8 ounces of pure, natural unscented beeswax in a double boiler, lined crockpot or cleaned out wax warmer.
2. Pour your wax into small, clean glass jelly jars, or any small container with a wide brim jar mouth.
3. While the wax is warm add your olive oil and essential oils.
4. Stir the wax blend for ten seconds.
5. Allow the blend to sit, meld, and solidify for one hour.

So, that’s it! This blend is natural, economical, and with a small amount on a clean, white cloth you will be able to clean and condition all of your wooden kitchen items within minutes. I condition my kitchen cutting boards quarterly, and kitchen cabinets annually!

Here’s to saving,
