Do you have wooden utensils like these?
Are they healthy & glowing?
Well, below is a photo of mine before they had a nice little oil massage yesterday.
Don't they look dry and unhappy?
Well the solution to the problem was quite inexpensive.
I simply purchased some inexpensive mineral oil from the pharmacy section of my local Target.
I compared the cost for the wood oil in the kitchen section, which is exactly the same thing by the way...
nothing but 100% mineral oil at $6.00 a small bottle compared to my $1.60 something for much more.
I gathered up all of my wooden kitchen goodies like this vintage rolling pin,
and got to work giving them a good coating with a clean dry cloth.
I let them sit a few minutes to absorb the oil, then I just buffed them a bit with another dry cloth.
Here they are all happy and moisturized, don't they look so much better?
They must feel quite happy that they are no longer neglected & sad looking.
All it took was a little time & elbow grease and they look & feel good as new.
I also had a happy accident { knocking over the bottle }
which resulted in my kitchen table getting a makeover as well.
Here it is before, also sad, dry and splotchy...see how dull the finish is.
Now look how refreshed and smooth she looks.
I simply waxed on & waxed off a'la Karate Kid.
What do you think? Improved?
Have you loved your wood lately?
*peace, love & hugs*
