Orange Oil is by far our most popular and natural furniture care product. 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.

Questions & answers
What is Orange Oil for?
Cleaning and polishing finished wood furniture. Use it only over a topcoat that has fully cured.
How should I clean a finished piece?
After the finish has cured (21 days for water-based, 30 for oil-based), use a damp rag, adding a speck of dish detergent or a little vinegar for grime. Use Orange Oil when it needs more. Avoid oil soaps and silicone dusting sprays; they can keep future finishes from sticking.
Can I use it to rub a finish to a higher gloss?
Yes. Shake it, wipe on a thin coat, let it sit 1-2 minutes, then buff off the excess with a fine abrasive pad in the direction of the grain. Finer pads give more gloss.
How do I get dust or fibers out of my last coat of Arm-R-Seal?
Buff lightly with 0000 steel wool and Orange Oil. Don't press hard.
Can I lower the sheen of an oil-based topcoat with it?
Yes, rub it with 0000 steel wool and Orange Oil. Never use steel wool on water-based finishes.
