I have been watching "How Clean Is Your House". In the programme they
melted in the microwave some Beeswax to polish some old furniture. It
can be heated over a pan of hot water too they said.

I ordered some from eBay and have a problem.

When I do that and leave it to go cool it goes rock hard. What do I need
to add to it to make sure the beeswax stays soft so I can use it. I am
sure they added some kind of oil to it?? Maybe wrong but they said it
was the best way to polish old furniture.


My Dad used turpentine, mixed in after removing the beeswax from the heat.

Yup. Isnt it cheaper to buy ready mixed beeswax polish now though?
