I’ve used the olive oil and vinegar trick before, and it really does work wonders for light scuff marks. It’s amazing how those two simple ingredients can bring back the shine! I recently had a similar issue with a wooden coffee table that had years of wear and tear. After trying the olive oil and vinegar method, I found that the surface still needed a little more love to get it looking just right. That’s when I turned to Priory Polishes. Their wood finish was perfect for giving the table a nice, smooth protective layer while enhancing the natural grain. It really brought the whole piece back to life!
