Every few months your new lovely oak furniture is more than likely going to need a good exhaustive waxing, especially in the first few years in your home. Waxing helps the grain remain adhered, helps the wood withstand from cracking and crazing, and keeps any finishes on your oak furniture in the best possible shape. Waxing does not work well if you make small circles or broad back and forth strokes. You want to use the wax with a clean cloth in the same direction as the grain and then remove the wax by buffing with the grain. This allows for the best protection within the grain while reducing streaking and pockets of air.

Cheap furniture care products are cheap for a simple reason. Commonly the reason is because they don’t work that well. The components that go into a can of furniture polish in the cheap can are less expensive for the company to attain because they are not as potent. While there will always be a few companies who will also package for the store brand, these are few and far between. Thus, as a general rule, the cheap cans of furniture care products should really be avoided where possible.
