Eight Ways to Remove Scratches from Furniture (Part 2)

An article from Reader's Digest enumerated four other ways aside from the ones that was published in Realty Today.

Here are other four ways on removing scratches from furniture.

1.     Place some peanut butter. The article mentioned that putting peanut butter is a good treatment for damaged wood. The article also gave the following steps: rub a little on the scratch, leave it for an hour, and clean it. In addition, waxing the surface after an hour can help removing the scratches, as mentioned in an article from The Ready Store.

2.     Put a little petroleum jelly. To help the surrounding wood to plump up and fill in the scratch, put a petroleum jelly on the scratch and leave it overnight, as suggested in the article. In addition, the article mentioned that wipe away the jelly in the morning and polish the surface. An article from Grandmas Home Remedies, using petroleum jelly can help to remove watermark rings on the wooden surface or furniture by leaving it overnight.

3.     Use car polish. The article advised that try removing the scratch using a car polish on a French-polished tabletop. The article added that polish lightly so that you don't rub away the rest. Furthermore, if marble or granite begins to look worn or dull, using some car wax to remove fine scratches and to restore the glossy finish and shine can really be a great help, as suggested in an article from One Good Thing by Jillee. The article added that use it every once a month.

4.     Treat it with mayonnaise. For cracked wood, put a little mayonnaise for two to three days, as the article suggested it. The article added that oils in the mayonnaise will help swell the wood and fill the crack. According to an article in Lifehacker, putting mayonnaise can help fixing a small crack in woods and leave it for a few days. In addition, the article said that oils and proteins in the mayonnaise can help the wood swell up and it will definitely shrink. When it's finished, wipe off anything left behind and polish the wood to remove the crack.
