A light spray that attracts dust and gently conditions surfaces
Most dusting sprays are just silicone and fragrance: they give furniture a short-term shine but build up over time and attract more dust. This one uses a tiny amount of Jojoba Oil to lightly condition the surface and help dust particles bond to the cloth rather than becoming airborne again.

Equipment
500 mL spray bottle (clean)
Measuring jug
Microfibre cloth
How to use
Shake before each use. Spray lightly onto a clean microfibre cloth; not directly onto furniture. Wipe surfaces in the direction of the grain. Buff with a dry cloth if needed.
Storage
Store in a cool, dark place. Shake before each use; separation is normal. Use within 6 months.
Safety
Spray onto cloth, not directly onto furniture. Do not use on leather without patch testing first. Oil and water will separate naturally between uses; always shake before use. Geogard ECT is an eye irritant in concentrate; avoid contact while mixing. Keep out of reach of children.
