Furniture
Putting Curtains on a Curtain Rod. When
putting curtains on a metal rod, slip a plastic sandwich or freezer bag
over the metal end first so that it doesn't snag the curtain and it
will also go on much easier. -- Sheri in Spokane
Sticky
Desk Drawer: Squeeky or sticky wooden drawers can be eased
by rubbing with a bar of soap. Before you reach for the WD40 for
squeeky door hinges rub in some soap-- Axel Klystron
Furniture Restoration:
To make furniture look older mix varnish with soot and then paint on.
– Robin Ed.
Light scratches on
furniture can be disguised by using a wax crayon
pencil. Another method is to rub with a Brazil Nut.
– Dave
Small dents in
furniture can be steamed out using a steam iron or a damped
cloth. Be careful not to overdo it on delicate or
very valuable items. – Davie
Dents in Wooden
Worktops. Wooden worktops could be the subject of dents
if a heavy fallen object has hit the wood surface. If that happens
there's a quick fix. Spray some water on the dent, place a textile
fabric on top of the dent and iron the surface. Quality wooden worktop
should react well to this fix and raise back. Thanks -- Ran
