Repairing your furniture professionally after every occasion that it gets damaged is just not practical or affordable for the majority of people.You’ll be suprised to hear however that you needn’t panic as a vast amount of issues can be sorted quickly and cheaply withing an experts helping hand. Two of the most common types of damage are outlines here also how to put them right. Remember to allows test them on an inconspicuous area first just to make sure the wood is not discoloured as a result
Water Rings
All it takes is someone to carelessly place a cup or glass down on top off dining room furniture forgeting to use a coaster and you’re left with unsightly marks. Getting them to leave though is not as hard as you might think. Ironing out the stains is the best method. Just place a clean piece of cloth over the stain and iron over it until the stain vanishes.If you find that the stain is still visible, try dripping some lemon or lime juice onto it and leave it over night. When you come to it in the morning the juice should have helped remove the stain and another ironing should see it go completely.
Scratches
Scratches happen all the time to furniture just through their general use. This does not mean though that when you get them they should be their for good. The majority of scratches can be removed using a number of very simple techniques.A walnut that has been halved and rubbed over a scratch or graze works brilliantly at repairing wood to its previous state.Furniture polish can also be added to this technique for cuts and marks that do not disappear using the walnut alone. If the damage cannot be sorted with these techniques then try mixing some lacquer thinner with denatured alcohol. brush over the affected area using a very fine paint brush and blend the lacquer that surrounds the damage to cover over the exposed part.
If your painted white furniture gets any damage such as a piece of white bedroom furniture then do not use the techniques above. You are much better off painting over the affected part and rubbing it back down so it looks the same as the rest of the wood
