Oil-based polishes also help to protect the finish by “moisturizing” it as the emollients slightly soak into the lacquer and wood pores in a similar effect as using moisturizing lotion on our skin. Oil-based polishes help to renew the luster or shine on furniture finishes and also perform well in removing fingerprints, dust, and grease. The base product used in most commercially available furniture polishes are either wax-based or oil-based. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to clean and polish or wax your furniture on a regular basis. Even the air in what is assumed to be very clean households carry dust, pollen and other contaminants that will, over time, cause furniture finishes to lose their value by the accumulation of soil and by 'drying out' the lacquer topcoats. Even furniture that is not used will become soiled if not cleaned and polished on a regular basis. In order to maintain the beauty of your furniture, proper attention and care must be given to it.
