The defect is immediately noticeable. It can be corrected with the help of special means or craftsmen who will restore the furniture. But there is a third option - a folk remedy.

For this you will need a walnut. To mask the scratches, you will need its kernel. Experienced housewives say that you just need to rub the damaged area, and the defect will be less noticeable.

Colored pencils are used for a similar purpose. They select the desired color and draw over the damaged area if the scratch is not too deep.

Another popular method involves using mayonnaise. This trick, as the authors of the trick claim, is suitable for deep defects. The product needs to get inside the scratch.

The remains are removed from the surface and wait a few days until the mayonnaise dries. Then all that remains is to polish this area with a piece of cloth and the scratch will no longer be noticeable.
