Howard Products Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish & Conditioner, 8 oz, Orange

Love this feed n wax. I use it in my kitchen cabinets and it brought them back to life. I wiped a thin layer on them. Let it sit there for a couple of hours and buffed them off with a clean microfiber towel. The smell is amazing too. Very citrus. So far it’s been a few months and they still look great. I would buy again.

The difference it made on my thrifted and antique pieces was like night and day! It gave old, tired, dry wood a new depth and fresh “glow.” The cost is more than fair for such a great product, and it’s easy to use!

My 175 year-old tear-down cabinet is drinking this product up! It is soaking in and the wood looks beautiful—shiny, healthy, and good as new. Paired with the cool little brush applicator, it was worth the price.

I own a Henkle-Harris dining room set and with any expensive mahogany furniture meant to last a lifetime, I’m very picky with what I use for cleaning and polishing the wood. I have always avoided furniture polishers that’s mostly oiled based with too much citric acid. With waxed based products, it’s great for cleaning and conditioning the wood, but most times lacks the luster one would desire. I just ran out of an all natural product I used for years but decided to take a chance and try another product. After researching and reading too many reviews, I decided on the Howard Feed-N-Wax. No regrets so far! Not like the “other” brand, this one is easier to apply and buff. It does contain mineral oil, which is fine and should not harm your wood. I only use clean 100% soft cotton rags. I will start off with a clean rag for the initial application and spreading of the wax. The other clean rag for wiping off any excess and buffing the furniture.If you decide to invest in expensive “forever” furniture that cost thousands of dollars that you want to hopefully pass down to your next generation, then take care of your investment. Use only good safe products to prevent moisture and UV damage. I like this Howard wax and believe it will do a great job if used correctly. The orange citrus smell is pleasant, but not overwhelming at all. It’s very mild and pleasant and not like “Pledge” products which I do avoid and do not use. If anything, my cat hates citrus smells so it keeps her away from our “future” heirloom mahogany furnishings lol.

The product works as described. I applied as directed onto my antique pine table and chairs. It seemed to polish as well as treat the wood. It didn't hide the bigger scratches or water marks, but I didn't really expect it to. If you have antiques, this is a much better product for polishing than the spray polish people use on modern furniture. It will condition and clean.

I've tried making my own DIY wood conditioner but this stuff is sooo much better. It spreads nicely with a microfiber towel. It has been years since I've cleaned and conditioned my wooden kitchen cabinets and it cleaned off all the water and oil streaks/stains. I highly recommend it! FYI... I did wipe it down with a wet microfiber towel first, then used the Feed-N-Wax.

Thrilled with the results. I used this product on several vintage / antique pieces of furniture and they look rehydrated, healthy and evened out the wood tones. The one piece of furniture I was most impressed with is a cabinet I have from the 1940’s. The wood was so dried out and this sucked it up right away. It looks amazing now. The product was very easy to use, no streaking, and now I know the wood looks healthy and protected. It was incredibly easy to use- I used a flour sack towel and squeezed the product onto the towel then rubbed it into the wood. Some areas I added a second coat, because how it was absorbing. I just found my new “must-have” furniture conditioner! You won’t be disappointed. Check out my photos for some before and afters.

You can see where I used it on this 100 year old card catalog, I feel like she just took her first breath of fresh air, lol.My Mom had this in her house for decades, and they had gas heat that dried it out. It’s now in my house and I’ve been trying to bring her back to life. Looks like this stuff will do the trick!! I plan on doing the whole thing tomorrow, or what I can with the one bottle I bought. I’ve already added more to my cart!
