What's the story

Carnauba oil, extracted from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree, is highly prized for its durability and water-resistant properties.

When incorporated into natural furniture wax, it amplifies the shine while significantly extending the lifespan of wooden surfaces.

Read this article to learn how adding carnauba oil to your furniture care regimen can preserve and enhance your pieces for years to come.

Benefits

The benefits of carnauba oil in furniture wax

Carnauba oil is considered the queen of waxes thanks to its unparalleled quality and finish.

When blended with natural furniture wax, it forms a harder, more durable finish than other waxes.

This combination enhances the natural beauty of wood while providing superior protection against scratches and water damage.

Just a small addition of five% carnauba oil can dramatically boost the performance of your furniture wax.

Application

Applying Carnauba-enhanced wax correctly

Apply a thin layer of carnauba-enhanced wax using a soft cloth or brush. Allow it to dry for 20 minutes before buffing it with a clean cloth.

Use circular motions during both application and buffing. This will ensure an even coat that penetrates deep into the wood grain.

Reapply every six months. This will help keep the wood shiny and protected.

Maintenance

Maintaining your furniture's shine

To maintain the beautiful shine of carnauba-infused furniture wax, dust regularly.

Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently lift away dust without scratching the surface.

For spills or stains, clean promptly with a damp cloth. Follow with immediate drying using a soft towel to prevent water marks.

Refrain from using harsh chemical cleaners as they can remove waxes and harm wood finishes over time.

Done!
