Walnuts Remove Furniture Scratches

If you have wood floors or own wood furniture, you’ve felt the pain of an unsightly scratch on your lovely wood! Whether it’s from the cat or dog clawing at the floor, or an accidental bump into the furniture, it can be devastating! Never fear, we have the ultimate hack for you – walnuts. That’s right! Simply remove the walnut from its shell and rub it over the marks in the wood. The oils from the nut will penetrate the surface and fix the blemishes.

A Wooden Spoon Prevents Water From Boiling Over

We’ve all had a pot or two (or fifty) boil over onto the stove when we weren’t paying attention. Avoid this common cooking mishap by placing a wooden spoon over the pot in question. This works for several reasons. First, when the unstable bubbles from a boiling pot hit a wooden spoon which is a water-resistant material, the bubbles pop and the water level falls back down. Second, this works because the temperature of the spoon is less than 212, so the steam-filled bubbles re-condense into water and weigh the other bubbles down.
