Keeping your wooden furniture clean need not be expensive or difficult. Here are a few more unusual ideas to keep your furniture looking beautiful:
If the kids leave crayon marks on your wooden dining table, rub mayonnaise into the area, let it soak for a few minutes and then rub clean with a damp cloth.
If you have wooden furniture with a dark stain, you can use instant coffee to cover any scratches. Make a thick paste of coffee granules and water, and then rub the paste into the scratch.
Sometimes, white spots caused by moisture can appear on the surface of the wood. If the white spot is small, gently rub a little toothpaste into it and then wipe the area clean.
Candle wax can be removed by gently peeling up as much of the wax as you can without hurting the wood. Then, using a hair dryer, soften the wax, but don't let it heat up too much.Once the wax is soft, blot it with a paper towel.
If you've recently polished your wooden furniture, you can sprinkle cornstarch on it to absorb excess oil or wax. This leaves a glistening, oil free surface.
