Is the wood furniture in your home looking a little worn? If it is, I have some easy and inexpensive fixes and most of the stuff you need is probably found in your kitchen.

For scratches on dark wood furniture, make a paste of instant coffee and water. Rub the paste into the scratch with a soft cloth. Then let it sit for a minute and buff away any excess.

For scratches on lighter wood try rubbing the meaty part of a walnut into the scratch. It will fill the indentation and blend the scratch with the rest of the wood.

Waxy shoe polish will clean scratches and scuffs from all sorts of wood surfaces, just rub it in and buff it to a shine.

For white moisture marks on wood, try rubbing the area with a little mineral oil on some superfine steel wool. Make sure you rub very lightly and that you work with the grain of the wood. No mineral oil? Try white toothpaste; it will get rid of those marks in no time.

If your furniture is looking hazy and dull, mix together a cup of room temperature water and two tablespoons of white vinegar. Rub the mixture into the wood and then wipe it off with a clean dry cloth, it will bring back that beautiful finish you remember.
