10) Best Of Helpful Hints: The Best Of Hints For Furniture
Removing Scratches
* Rub a black crayon on black furniture scratches and dark brown on mahogany pieces. Buff the marks thoroughly with a dry cloth. The wax from the crayon fills the scratch and it becomes unnoticeable. This method is preferred over iodine.
* Rub some mayonnaise on the scratch. Let it sit for a while, wipe off with a soft cloth.
* For teakwood: remove by rubbing gently with 0000 steel wool. Apply equal amounts of linseed oil and turpentine. Rub in well.
* Mahogany: to remove minor scratches, cover each scratch with a generous amount of white petroleum jelly. Allow it to remain on for 24 hours. Rub into wood. Remove excess and polish as usual.
* If the scratch is deep, remove the meat from a fresh, unsalted walnut or pecan and break it in half. Rub with the broken side. This does a terrific job of filling the scratch and restoring the color.
* Burns: rub mayonnaise into burn. Let sit a while before wiping off with a soft cloth.
