Wooden furniture is prone to scratches from everyday use, such as the movement of chairs, toys, pets, and the passage of time, which can mar the appearance of tables, cabinets, and bookshelves. In response, many people consider using special waxes or costly products to repair the damage; however, a growing trend is to use a homemade method involving walnuts. This may seem unusual, but walnuts can be valuable kitchen allies. Their high oil content nourishes the surface of the wood and diminishes minor scratches without altering the original tone of the furniture. Though not a substitute for professional restoration in severe cases, it is effective for light and superficial scratches.
