Posted by Candy Noel on Tuesday, January 13th, 2015 at 11:24pm.
Do you have wooden floors or furniture? Have you, kids or animals put a dent in it by accident? Maybe you were rearranging furniture or kids were rough housing. As long as the wood hasn't been broken apart underneath, there's a fix!!
Items you'll need:
- Iron
- Warm water
- A paper towel, rag or old t-shirt
Step 1: Pour a small amount of warm water over the dent.
Step 2: Place the paper towel, rag or old t-shirt over the water on the wood. The water will seep through the material, this is perfect. If the dent is larger then try running the material under warm water and wringing it out before placing it over the wood.
Step 3: Put the iron (on medium or high setting) over the material pressingly firmly. You can move the iron back and forth or in circles until the material is dry. (This will not take long) At this step the wood will be absorbing the water and the wood fibers will expand back to where it was originally
Step 4. Repeat an necessary until the wood is flush
Thanks it!! A pretty simple and quick tip to repairing dents in you wooden floor or furniture.
