When it comes to making your home brighter, fresher, and feel more like “you,” there are plenty of options. From knocking down walls to hiring a designer to paint the rooms, there are many ways to go about it. One of the best things you can do for your home is to change the oil in its appliances. When done regularly, oil change lamps can dramatically improve the lighting in your home and increase the lifespan of all your furniture and appliances.

Now, while we know that replacing oil is an easy and affordable way to make your home better, there are two main types of oil that you need to know about in order to choose the right one for your needs. These oils not only affect the look and feel of your space, but they can also make a dramatic difference in the function and reliability of your appliances. So let’s take a quick look at which oil is better suited for your home and why.

Lemon Or Olive Oil?

When choosing an oil for your home, you have many options. While you may be familiar with olive oil, you may not know a whole lot about lemon oil. So let’s start by defining these terms; the first is the oil itself, the second is what it is used for, and finally, where it comes from. Lemon oil is the oil extracted from lemons. It has a very distinct aroma that some people describe as “citrusy,” “lemony,” or “mineral.” Although lemon oil can be used in many applications, it is primarily used in the kitchen as a cook oil or added to other oils, especially after food has been cooked in it.

Olive oil is the oil extracted from various types of fruits, most notably olives, though it can also be extracted from almonds and walnuts. The aroma of olive oil is extremely subtle and can be described as “fruity,” “nutty,” or “floral.” It is typically used either in uncooked form or after food has been cooked in it.

Both of these oils are extremely useful and versatile, but which one you should use depends on your kitchen. If you prepare your food using a lot of lemon, you will most likely want to use lemon oil. However, if you use olive oil a lot, then you will want to switch to that. The reason behind this is that lemon oil can degrade plastic, while olive oil can help prevent certain types of oxidation, making it better for use in furniture.

How Often Should You Change The Oil In Your Appliances?

When choosing which oil is best for your home, you have to determine how often you should change the oil in your appliances. For most kitchens, we recommend an oil change every three months, especially if you use your appliances daily. However, if you prepare your food using a lot of raw fruit and vegetables, then you can go as high as every month.

So, if you prepare your food using a lot of one type of fruit or vegetable, then you can deduce that your appliances will need to be changed more frequently. The reason behind this is that the oil will become less effective in warding off any bacteria or fungus that may try to infest your home. Also, if you use your appliances daily, then you should change them more frequently in order to ensure that they function at their optimum level at all times.

Which Oil Is Better For Your Furniture?

Once you have determined how often you should change the oil in your appliances, you can decide which type of oil is best for your furniture. There are three options here: olive oil, grapefruit oil, and coconut oil. If you prepare your food using a lot of one type of fruit or vegetable, then your furniture will need to be coated with that fruit’s oil, but you will likely want to use another type of oil for cooking.

Olive oil is the safest choice when it comes to furniture and is also one of the most cost-effective options. It can be used for all types of fabrics including wood and metal surfaces, though it is especially beneficial for wooden furniture. On average, olive oil based coatings can last for years and even decades, depending on the type of wood used and how often it is redone. If you prepare your food using a lot of one type of fruit or vegetable, then your furniture will most likely need to be coated in its oil.

Grapefruit oil is another great option and is gaining popularity as a furniture coating because it is inexpensive and relatively easy to apply. It is extracted from grapefruit, which is grown in the Southwest United States. Grapefruit oil has a citrus aroma that some people describe as “citrusy” or “mandarin-like.” It can be used for almost any type of surface including wood and metal and is safe to use for people with food allergies. Grapefruit oil is especially beneficial for wood furniture because it gives the piece a clean, natural look and cuts down on mildew growth. Finally, coconut oil is emerging as a popular choice among furniture manufacturers and homeowners alike because it is biodegradable and it is sustainable. It also has a high smoking point, which makes it easy to heat and a great choice for barbeques. It has a tropical vibe that some people describe as “suntan oil” or “raw coconut scent.” If you are using coconut oil as a cooking oil, then you will want to use it in combination with another type of oil such as grapeseed or canola oil.

Now that you know which oil is better suited for your home and which type of oil you will want to use for your furniture, it’s time to figure out where you will get the oil and how much you will need to purchase. For the best prices, always look to wholesale clubs for large purchases and consider looking online, where you can often find discounts.
