Orange Oil
Gilly’s Orange Oil is an all-purpose, 100% plant-based and food-safe furniture maintenance oil, perfect for timber and cane furniture. It contains no silicone and has a pleasant orange scent. This popular product is an excellent alternative to waxing when a high sheen is not required, offering great cleaning properties while nourishing and restoring old or neglected furniture. It’s ideal for keeping cane and bamboo furniture in good condition and for feeding unpolished surfaces like drawers and table undersides. The oil darkens timber naturally without staining.
Use For
Timber furniture, cane, bamboo, antiques, kitchen utensils, chopping boards, children’s toys, and unpolished surfaces like drawer bottoms and table undersides.
Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Use an all-purpose cleaner for preparation.
Application
Apply with a soft cloth (or brush for irregular surfaces). Allow the oil to absorb for 5 minutes before buffing with a clean cloth. For new or dry timber, apply 3 coats, allowing the oil to absorb fully between each coat. Avoid over-application, as excess oil can become sticky and attract dirt.
Dry Time
Allow 5-10 minutes between coats for the oil to soak in. This oil remains in the timber, nourishing it, rather than drying like varnish or tung oil.
Maintenance
Reapply as needed when timber becomes dull or dry. A light coat every 4-6 months is recommended to maintain the timber’s freshness.
Clean Up
Use warm, soapy water for hands and application cloths.
This natural oil keeps timber and cane furniture nourished and beautifully maintained, making it a safe, effective choice for everyday care.
