Daddy Van's all natural beeswax furniture polish

Anyone who knows me knows that cleaning my home is not one of my highest priorities. I do it, occasionally, but I am certainly no neat freak. So when someone e-mails me and asks if I'd like to try a cleaning product and review it, I think twice. 

I did, however, accept some furniture polish from Daddy Van's because polishing furniture isn't too painful. It's not like scrubbing the tub or anything. They sent me two tins of beeswax polish - one unscented & naturally baby safe and the other lavender with sweet orange oil.

Here's what Daddy Van's says

Daddy Van's is natural and simple, and leaves wood nourished, healthy, and glowing.

Only pure unrefined beeswax and the finest natural emollients go into Daddy Van's All Natural Beeswax Furniture Polish. No petroleum byproducts. No solvents. No artificial fragrances.

Here's what I say

I am what is technically called "fragrance intolerant." Most chemical fragrances and some natural fragrances can give me a migraine very quickly. So I was glad that one of the tins they sent was unscented. But you know what, I threw caution to the wind and took a few good sniffs of the lavender with sweet orange oil polish, too. Then I waited to see what would happen. Nothing happened. I didn't get a migraine. I can't promise it won't give others with my issues a problem, but I'm impressed by that fact alone.

I used the unscented polish in my living room and worked nicely. The top of the coffee table looked very nice when I was done polishing.

I can't use the lavender and sweet orange oil on my kitchen cabinets because my cabinets have all been painted.

Cleaning with natural ingredients is really important to me (when I clean). The chemicals that are in traditional cleaning products give me migraines, and I don't believe that they are good for my health and more importantly, my children's health. I will continue to use this furniture polish because it worked well and isn't full of toxic chemicals. 

You can order Daddy Van's products online or see if there is a store near you that sells them. Online, one 5 oz tin sells for $11.95.
