Looks who's here. It's vegetable oil! Wow, I didn't know you were coming over.
Besides being a crucial ingredient in my grandmother's amazing rice casserole (nostalgia and loyalty aside; hands down the best rice casserole I've ever had the chance to enjoy. perhaps I will share it here one day), vegetable oil can also be used as a cheap natural hardwood floor polish.
As an aside, isn't it strange that hardwood floors took a little break from being in vogue. Well, they're BACK! With a vengeance. Anyone see Bruce Willis in Red? I digress.
All you have to do is mix it in a 1:1 ratio with vinegar, put it in a spray bottle and voila! That's french.
Spray on floor and wipe with a damp cloth. Leave to sit for a short time if floor is particularly scuffed.
We've found vinegar for 1.69 here.
And vegetable oil is probably cheaper there than the $7.99/gallon I saw at Meijer.
Even with those prices, to make a pint of wood polish in a spray bottle:
1 cup of vinegar - .11
1 cup of vegetable oil - .50
That's 61 cents.
You're welcome.
