Cleaning & Waxing Timber Furniture

Once again we take the Kiwi Furniture Wax and the Pure Cotton Polishing Cloth, and rub in a small amount of wax using the circular motion, finishing with the grain.

Keep rubbing the wax over the surface to make sure that it has spread in a thin even layer.

The motto is “two thin layers are better than one thick layer,” then wait until the wax has dried. It will make a squeaking sound when you rub your finger on the surface.

Do sections at a time and work all the surface legs, sides, tops and doors before you start to buff using a clean wax free cotton cloth. By cross grain buffing you will create a lovely lustre to the finished surface.

Please refer to the diagrams on how to make a bun and how to do leg and turned areas.
