I read somewhere that you shouldn't use olive oil for dusting because it can get rancid. They suggested mineral oil. Has anyone had a problem with this?

Thank you! Priscilla from Texas Answers: RE: Homemade Furniture Polish I used to be a die hard pledge fan until I quit using toxic store bought cleaning products. I tried this recipe from the queen of clean and am hooked. Fill a clean spray bottle with: 1 cup olive oil 1/4 cup white vinegar Shake well. To use spray on clean cloth and use as you would store bought product. I follow up with a clean rag to get any excess product off. The olive oil conditions wood and gives it that nice shine while the vinegar cleans the surface, I was skeptical before using this recipe but was hooked after the first time using it. My furniture does not get greasy and the vinegar smell isn't bothersome and goes away quickly.
