Orange Oil   
Orange Oil
Orange Oil is by far the most popular. It can be used on any finish and does a superb job of removing everyday dirt and dust. It is often compared to lemon oil - however the big difference is that lemon oil contains mineral spirits. Orange Oil is all natural, non-combustible and made from real orange rinds. We love its fresh orange scent.

 
Butcher Block Oil
Butcher Block Oil
Butcher Block Oil is the preferred method to maintain butcher blocks or any other surface that comes into contact with food such as salad bowls, cutting boards and wooden utensils. Our product is made from FDA approved mineral oil.

 
Oil and Wax
Oil and Wax
Oil and Wax has the same citrus base as orange oil with the addition of natural beeswax. Its recommended use is on Danish Oil finishes that do not employ a surface sealing finish. The oils will penetrate into the wood while the wax seals the surface, maintaining a beautiful, rich luster.

Satin Finishing Wax  
Satin Finishing Wax
Satin Finishing Wax (natural or dark) is a dual-purpose product. It can be used as a polish for rubbing out new finishes or as a scratch remover for worn surfaces. It works well over both oil and water based finishes, including Danish Oil. We recommend a wet sanding process followed by buffing to a soft silky sheen.

 
Crème Polish  
Creme Polish
Crème Polish is best used on glossy finishes such as lacquer. Made from all natural ingredients with no petroleum products, Crème Polish contains lanolin to moisturize a lackluster finish. It will provide a rich shine for weeks and leaves a delightful almond scent.

Furniture Cleaner  
Furniture Cleaner
Furniture Cleaner is our strongest heavy duty cleaner with a mineral spirits base and is designed for serious cleaning applications. Apply with a 0000 grade steel wool to remove old oils, wax and grease from any wood surface. After the surface is clean, apply General Finish's topcoats or Satin Wax to bring back luster.
