Treat Your Apartment to an Olive Oil Treatment

You have heard of hot oil treatments for the hair (or at least us ladies have!) so why not an olive oil treatment for your apartment? Olive oil is one of the healthier of all of the oils and it is low in fat and works well in a variety of recipes. Are you aware that olive oil can be of use around your apartment as well? It can. Let’s take a look.

In the kitchen

In the kitchen olive oil can be used to season cutting boards that are wooden as well as wooden bowls and cast iron frying pans. Dab a tiny smidgen of olive oil on a piece of paper towel and clean your kitchen counter tops as well as the surface of your stove. Do not use too much however or you will leave the surfaces oily and slippery to the hands. You don’t want a slippery situation to develop! (Smiles)

Shine up plant leaves

Some plants have plenty of green leaves and who doesn’t enjoy the appearance of shiny green leaves? Shine up your plant leaves with a dab of olive oil on a sponge or paper towel and rub it gently onto the plant leaves. Voila! Shiny plant leaves here you come! Olive oil can also be used to shine up artificial plant leaves as well.

Give dents the brush-off

Do you have wood furniture that is pitted or dented and the appearance of it bothers you terribly? Don’t despair- olive oil can come to the rescue! Grab the bottle of trusty olive oil and put a small portion on a sponge and then rub it over the table or chair legs or whatever piece of furniture it is and watch the dents do a disappearing act! It works just as well if not better than a magician’s wand! Don’t believe me? Oh you of little faith! Well then what are you waiting for? Try it for yourself and see.
