There are many available fixes for hardwood floor scratches, but perhaps the one that is available to virtually anyone is using mayonnaise to make them disappear.
Things You Will Need
-
Clean the damaged surface so that you remove all dust and dirt from the area. Use a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust from the surface to be fixed.
-
Dab a generous amount of mayonnaise onto the scratch with a soft cloth. Use enough mayo so that it completely fills the scratch. You should not be able to see the scratches with the white mayonnaise covering them.
-
Wait approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Wipe away the mayo with a napkin or towel. The mayonnaise will leave a greasy film in the crack. This film will generally take on the color of the surrounding hardwood floor material, thus hiding the scratch. .
The Drip Cap
- Scratches on hardwood floors are relatively common.
- Once the finish has been penetrated, the lighter color of the wood beneath will show up and become very noticeable.
