IMPROVED UV PROTECTION

Our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of your wooden furniture has led us to improve our beeswax polish formula by incorporating a UV absorber. This addition has been scientifically proven to significantly lessen the harmful effects of UV radiation from direct sunlight on wooden surfaces.

By integrating a UV absorber into our trusted beeswax polish formula, we provide additional protection that absorbs even more of the harmful UV rays before they can damage the wood or its finish. This advanced protection is especially crucial for pieces exposed to direct sunlight, helping to greatly reduce discolouration and extend the life of your furniture.

While it does not block all UV rays entirely, it acts as a crucial additional barrier, extending the life of your furniture and keeping its colour and finish vibrant.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Environmental preservation is very important to us and we make every effort to ensure our products have a minimal impact on the environment:

  • We are not driven by a corporate cost-reduction ethos. We select our components based on quality and sustainability rather than the cheapest alternatives
  • 100% Plastic-free recyclable packaging
    • 70% recycled cardboard and paper from FSC-approved mixed sources
    • Packing tape that is paper & cotton based with a water-based gum adhesive which can be recycled along with the cardboard boxes
    • No polypropylene-based tape. We use biodegradable raffia twine.
  • No petrochemical solvents, we use only pure pine gum spirits of turpentine
  • Reusable Le Parfait jars with a Return & Refill discount scheme
  • Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume

HOW TO USE OUR BEESWAX POLISH

  1. Use the included ultra-soft steel wire wool to apply
  2. With gentle pressure spread the polish evenly over the surface in the direction of the grain, being careful not to over apply and avoid any upholstered areas. Once applied the surface area should look matt in appearance
  3. Allow the pure pine turpentine to completely evaporate and the wax to harden for 20-30 minutes
  4. Use the included open-weave cotton buffing cloth to gently buff the wax to your preferred level of lustre. An open-weave cloth helps to prevent smearing.

Weekly furniture maintenance of removing dust can be done by simply using a slightly damp cloth and drying if needed with a clean dry cloth - beeswax polish will protect the surface for a very long time.

If you have a larger surface like the side of a chest of drawers or the top of a dining table apply the beeswax more evenly by dabbing the surface all over with small amounts of polish and then wipe in the direction of the grain to spread the wax evenly.

*SECRET TRADE TIP:

For carved relief areas such as an antique coffer, you can also apply beeswax furniture polish with a cheap 1 inch trimmed paint brush. It makes applying the beeswax much easier and allows the polish to get right into those dusty and hard to reach areas. Buff it 20 to 30 minutes later with the soft shoe brush and buffing cloth.

Great beeswax polish

Love this polish! Brings up the wood beautifully

Excellent on a range of wood finishes

I wasn't sure if this would be the right product for our Ercol dining table as I think it has a lacquered finish. It's worked a treat, scratches have disappeared and the table has a lovely sheen. Similar great results on Old Charm furniture and cheaper veneer wood furniture. For those who haven't used fine wire will before it can seem wrong to apply polish with wire wool. But it works really well if you follow the instructions. As with any "proper" polish a bit of elbow grease is needed to get a good polished finish. Will be buying more.

Thank you

I’m so thrilled with the wax polish. It’s brought a Regency round table and a Victorian carver back to life. Very easy to use. Unlike standard wax polish it’s super easy to buff with no smears. Thank you Gilboy’s.

Wonderful

Really easy to order and the packaging was very sturdy with wonderful added personal touches. The product smells amazing and glides beautifully on my wooden furniture and ornaments. You can see how the wood is benefiting the wax and feeding it.

Impressive!

Saw this product on TV's 'Inside The Factory' a few weeks ago and decided to give it a go for my oak butchers block dining table. I bought the Pure Gold wax and though thought it was expensive initially, a little does go a long way, the shine is impressive and the smell amazing. The lovely handwritten note gives a personal touch and the packet of seeds brought a smile. This company is an ambassador of brilliant internet shopping and I will definitely be recommending the product/company to my friends. Try it out for yourself!
