10 Best Furniture Polishes UK 2024 | Method, Pledge and More

This simple-to-use beeswax-infused furniture polish spray is enriched with lavender and camomile essential oils to give it a subtle and pleasant scent. The water-like consistency requires very little to be applied, before polishing to a high shine.

The spray is also enriched with silk proteins to nourish, protect and give a natural sheen. Made in the UK for over 30 years, this product has many fans thanks to its non-toxic formula and easy application.

Method are a well-known eco-friendly cleaning product brand and their wood polish doesn't disappoint. This non-toxic spray-on formula gently cleans and buffs any pre-treated or pre-oiled wood, bringing out its natural beauty. 

No residue is left behind, meaning no risk of build-up with prolonged use, but do use it just sparingly to achieve a high shine. The scent of almonds is pleasant and not overpowering – apparently, it reminds users of marzipan!

This high-quality wax has barely any aroma, just a subtle beeswax-honey scent. It is pleasant to use thanks to its soft consistency – simply wipe a small amount onto the wood and buff it off with a clean cloth to achieve a beautiful high shine.

This product does not require open window ventilation and its non-toxic formula is of food-grade standard, so you can safely polish nursery furniture, wooden cutlery and other surfaces. Great quality and made in the UK, we feel this product is well worth the relatively high price tag.

Furniture Clinic's Wax & Polish is suitable for use on both previously treated and untreated wood. Apply the slightly sticky liquid liberally with a cloth, leave for 20 minutes and buff off to an impressive shine, with two further clean cloths.

The combination of natural beeswax and Carnauba wax gives the wood a protective coating. The formula is infused with aromatic orange oil – which reminds some reviewers of sweet orange Calpol! – so your home will be left smelling sweet and summery.

Ecozone's Wood Furniture Polish is formulated with plant-based ingredients, including avocado oil and almond essence. Lift stubborn marks and dust from wooden furniture by simply spritzing and wiping, all whilst enjoying the almond scent.

This product is made in the UK, is cruelty-free, safe for aquatic life and for household pets and (as it doesn't contain beeswax) it is suitable for use in vegan households. Allergy-UK gives it their seal of approval, too. 

The light blend of beeswax, rosemary, clove, lavender and eucalyptus oils will infuse your home, whilst the product nourishes your furniture. Its silicone-free formulation makes it suitable for use on all wooden furniture, including fine and antique pieces. It can also be used on leather items.

If you like the nourishing effect of pure beeswax but need something which is far easier to apply, then this is the product for you. Just spray the aerosol and then wipe immediately with a clean, soft cloth – no arm workout required. 

The cute honeycomb lid of the spray can caught our eye – it's a design that could be left out on show. The lack of silicone means that this product won't damage the finish of your furniture either; over time, silicones can seep into the wood and create hazy 'blooming' marks, which are unsightly and irreversible.

The scent is that of 'old fashioned polish' which will transport you back to childhood trips to the homes of house-proud relatives. In addition, it nourishes so well that you can spray it on less frequently than other aerosol brands.

This Pledge Multisurface Cleaner has been designed to be used on 101 different sealed surfaces, from electronics to porcelain, granite to stainless steel, and wood to mirrors. This impressive feature makes it a handy product to have to hand if strongly scented aerosols are your go-to.

Reviewers praise the streak-free finish on sealed screen devices, glass and mirrors, capturing 3x as much dust when compared to a dry cloth. However, the effect on wood is generally considered less impressive than other big-brand wood-specific polishes.

Mr Sheen's intensely floral Magnolia and Cherry Blossom aerosol spray polish boasts 'dust trap technology', meaning it picks up twice as much dust compared to using a dry cloth alone. The formula actively attracts particles, leaving a dust-free and streak-free finish.

This is another multi-surface product, suitable for use on wood, glass, metal and plastic. A high-shine is guaranteed thanks to the silicones and wax crystals within, although over time product build-up may cause a dulling to occur.

If you are after a bargain spray, with an admittedly 'artificial' scent, then this could be the multisurface cleaner for you. Suitable for use on wood, metal and glass, it cleans with a streak-free finish and has an anti-static effect to repel dust.

For large areas, spray at a distance of 20 cm and polish immediately. For smaller areas, spray directly onto the cloth before use. Some reviewers have noticed a waxy build-up after prolonged use, so it may be best to use this one sparingly.
