What Makes Gilboys the best Furniture Polish in the World
Trusted By Thousands
With over 2,700 five-star reviews, customers appreciate both our furniture polish and each order includes complimentary sunflower seeds for you to plant and grow as a 'Thank You' to the bees. It's a meaningful connection between the beeswax in our polish and these remarkable pollinators.
Easy, Beautiful Results
Our furniture polish creates a rich, lasting shine with minimal effort. The perfectly balanced formula means you won't struggle with sticky residue or excessive buffing—just smooth, natural-looking results that protect your wooden surfaces. A single 125ml jar of furniture polish covers approximately 12m² (five to six standard dining tables), while 1L treats approximately 96-100m² (40-48 dining tables).
Brings Old Furniture Back to Life
Made with triple-filtered beeswax humanely harvested from local Devon hives, our polish revives and preserves all types of wood finishes. The natural formula penetrates deeply to nourish and protect antique wood, restoring its original character.
No Artificial Scents or Chemicals
Unlike supermarket furniture polishes that mask chemical solvents with artificial fragrances, we use pure pine gum spirits of turpentine for a natural woodland scent. Our guarantee: no silicone, no petrochemical solvents, no toluene, no white/mineral spirits—just natural ingredients that care for your wood.
Laboratory-Tested Protection
Independent laboratory testing demonstrates our furniture polish provides improved UV protection—helping reduce sun damage that causes fading and discolouration. The formula creates an invisible shield that lets wood's natural beauty shine through while filtering harmful rays. In accelerated ageing tests, our polish showed protective qualities under exposure equivalent to 12 years of direct sunlight.
Made by Professional Furniture Restorers
Created by professional furniture restorers in our workshop in Dartington, Devon, each batch of furniture polish is made to exacting standards developed over 30 years of restoration experience. We source premium beeswax from both Buckfast Abbey's historic hives and trusted local beekeepers, combining these with carefully selected natural waxes including T1 grade carnauba, myrica, Japan and berry wax. Our traditional methods ensure consistency and quality in every jar.
A Premium Furniture Polish That Lasts
Our specially developed blend of waxes means you may not need to polish your furniture again for up to three years. Pure turpentine holds more wax in suspension by volume than petrochemical solvents, ensuring excellent coverage and durability.
Our Le Parfait Super Preserve jars keep your furniture polish fresh and workable until the last application. No more throwing away dried-out tins or dealing with hardened wax.
A single 125ml jar of Gilboys furniture polish delivers exceptional coverage—treating approximately 12m² (five to six standard dining tables). Our larger 1L size covers approximately 96-100m² (40-48 dining tables).
