🌰 2. How to Fix Light Scratches in Wood Furniture
Fix with: Walnut or Iodine
Light scratches don’t always require sanding or stain. Instead, try this:
- Rub the meat of a walnut directly onto the scratch using small circular motions.
- For darker woods, use a cotton swab dipped in iodine and gently apply to the scratch.
- Let it dry, then buff with a soft cloth.
🌿 Walnuts contain natural oils that blend the scratch into the grain, making it far less noticeable.
🪞 3. How to Restore Dull and Worn Wood Surfaces
Fix with: Olive Oil and Vinegar
If your wood surface has lost its shine or looks tired:
- Mix 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts olive oil.
- Dip a soft cloth into the solution and rub it with the grain of the wood.
- Buff the surface with a clean, dry cloth to restore the luster.
✨ This natural polish revives the shine and also masks small imperfections.
