When I wiped down the kitchen table this morning I was shocked at the dirt on my cloth, so I announced that we were going to clean and polish the table today. (Notice how I am resting and quietly giving my body the chance to recover.) So having tidied the piles of magazines and paperwork, we initially gave it a good clean with hot water with a washing up liquid and anti bacterial mixture, two cloths and two scourers. After it was thoroughly dry I then applied the Briwax polish, and then some 4 or 5 hours later husband polished it using one of his drills. Obviously using a polishing attachment, not a drill bit. It looks wonderful now; if only either of us could smell the polish!
