Guardsman Review

My family has always cherished belongings and I have been blessed to have a collection of wonderful family pieces of wooden furniture. From tables to glass cabinets my house has been filled with wonderful pieces that carry with them many memories and stories to share. The one thing that I must in my opinion do is to share those stories and take care of the wonderful pieces of wooden furniture so that the next generation can cherish them as much as I do.

One piece that I simply love that has seen many years of use and one that holds stories from my childhood is my grandmothers game table. The game table is where you would find my grandparents and other adults playing an old card game called rook. Yes this was the card game of choice for our family and we all learned to play but to see the adults play was a feat all in itself. Some times they would not even allow us to watch as the chance of breaking their concentration may occur. But this table I graciously received and take care of it trying to keep it in nice condition so the next generations may one day have the chance of displaying it in their homes as well.

One way that I care for our treasures is by using Guardsman Trusted for over 100 years Guardsman is leading the way with expertise products and solutions to help revitalize, protect and restore furniture. This product is one that is needed to take care of my precious treasures and as I pass them down through the generations I will pass with them the promise of Guardsman.

The secret of Guardsman is rather new to me only finding out about it after taking part in a blog tour featuring Guardsman. I was sent an aerosol can of Revitalizing Wood Polish as part of the blog tour. The can defines the contents as being recommended by furniture makers and States that it enhances and preserves woods natural beauty. The spray had a pleasant lemon scent and was easy to use simply spraying onto a dusting rag and then wiping the table or other piece of wood furniture. The results I found were rather happy making their was no residue left behind and the table looked nice and I was proud to share with others. Currently there is a campaign titled Stop Cleaning and Start Caring that I would like to share with you as well.
