Here are a number of great methods for putting right 2 common damages.remember to use a piece of the furniture that is not visible to test any repair method and ensure that it doesn’t cause discolouring

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 rid of them however is not something that should be a big task by any means. Ironing the marks out of the wood works very well. Just place a clean piece of cloth over the stain and iron over it until the stain vanishes.If your still having problems getting the stain to completely budge, cover it in fresh lemon juice and give it a night to fully soak in. When you return when the sun has risen, you should find that the stain is all but gone. Any remaining marking can be shifted with another blast with the iron.

Scratches

Scratches occur on furniture all the time when they are used. You needn’t just leave them their however when you do find any damage. A variety of techniques can be used to correct the majority of scratches.A walnut that has been halved and rubbed over a scratch or graze works brilliantly at repairing wood to its previous state.If the scratch is still not vanishing completely, spray on some high quality furniture polish and rub that in well. If the damage cannot be sorted with these techniques then try mixing some lacquer thinner with denatured alcohol. Use a high quality fine painting brush to work the mixture along the grain and blend the lacquer over the scratched area. Leave to dry and retry if not successful.

If your paint covered white furniture receives 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
