Olive oil is a condiment that you probably already have in your cabinet. The fatty acids in olive oil bring out the wood’s natural sheen. To use, apply the olive oil to the furniture with a cloth, rubbing it into the wood grain well. Leave the oil on the wood for 10 minutes to absorb it. After 10 minutes, remove any excess with a clean, dry towel.
