Not long ago, I got a request from reader Kelly R., for a DIY recipe for furniture polish. She said she uses a lot of it and it’s expensive. My first thought was, of course, to suggest she time her purchases for when furniture polish goes on sale, and then to stock up. I recently purchased a can of Pledge aerosol polish (reg. $6.49) for $3. I was harboring a $1 off coupon, and when Pledge went on sale for two for $8, I used my coupon, bought one can, and enjoyed a great bargain.

Kelly didn’t mention environmental issues in her desire to make her own furniture polish, but after doing some research on the matter, that may be something all of us should consider, perhaps even more than the high cost.
