JulieNotes left this question as a comment on our
Wood Polishing post:
I have old hardwood floors, the finish is mostly worn off, refinishing isn't an option. I used to rub this lemon wax stuff on them and they looked great, but I think it was toxic.
Does ANYONE know what I can use to get some luster back into the floor?
What do Re-nest readers use to keep their wood floors gleaming? We know there are plenty of products you can buy (Method sells a wood floor care kit - $30) -- but what about some homemade options?

I use the Method stuff and I love it. It smells nice too

Hi, thanks for posting this! I've tried Method and it's okay but I think my floors really need some oil or something I used to use Feed-N-Wax® Wood Preserver and that was fantastic. But I'm now concerned if its safe or not.
My house is abt 70 yrs old with oak floors throughout, refinishing/sanding isn't an option.
Any ideas?

linseed oil maybe?

A little Natchez Solution applied with a damp rag or cloth mop will feed the wood and bring back its shine.
