As antique furniture restorers we searched for years and years to find a furniture polish that would meet our quality requirements. Ultimately we created the very best possible furniture polish ourselves using only the finest natural ingredients responsibly sourced. We've made it available to buy in 100% plastic-free packaging and implemented a discounted Return & Refill scheme with reusable LeParfait air-tight jars. Every order includes complimentary sweet pea seeds for you to plant and grow as a 'Thank you' to the hard-working bees.
* Unfortunately we are unable to include our complimentary sweet pea seeds for USA customers due to FDA restrictions.

Thank you for making this! I wish I'd found you earlier, preferably before I gave away a beautiful teak table I inherited by my passed grandmother. Luckily, I still have a teak shelf I will try to follow your guide to restore once summer allows it in Northern Norway.

Thanks so much for this! It was so helpful in guiding me through the restoration of an old Gplan sideboard I have, which has come up beautifully!

I smile as you explain and show the process because, not only is it a pleasure to watch you work, but because you seem to enjoy the process too...I've just recently started cleaning and "restoring" the very basic of my home furniture...unfortunately here in the South of Spain I don't find most of the products you use or mention...I'd have to purchase via internet and obviously the costs are very high, so I have to work my way around...such great video tutorials...you explain and teach beautifully...so glad I found your YT channel!

Great video thank you. I have a set of Mid-Century Danish teak nested tables and wondered what finish I could use to make them resistant to water spills (or beer on my partners side).

Great video - very helpful to see this process, thank you! One question: What is required to clean the surface after the 180 grit sand, before applying the hardwax oil? Is just a vacuum sufficient for removing all the dust prior to sealing? Thanks again!

Excellent video, I learnt so much leaning from you and I take inspiration from your devotion to to restore treasured furniture with the finest technique. I have followed your advice to restore a teak table and it looks wonderful. I have three kids and I want to increase the protection of the tabletop, is there any material I can add (thinking lacquer?) to avoid marks and discolouring without changing too much the aesthetics of the table?

Hi Simon, a nother fantastic and informative video. I'm currently trying to strip paint and a white primer off a gplan fresco long boys doors. The problem I'm up against is that the primer is in the grain, I'm away to do my 3rd strip, tbh I'm not hopeful about getting rid of the primer. If I were to use a tinted hard wax oil do you think that it would be enough to cover the tiny flecks of white? If not could you recommend a solution? Many thanks, Matt.
