Simple trick to outsmart scratches on a hardwood floor

To eliminate small blemishes on a wood floor, skip the wood repair kits and try this: Break a walnut, pecan or Brazil nut in half, then apply some pressure and rub the nut’s flesh over the scratches. The wood will soak up the nut’s natural oils, camouflaging the imperfections. (This trick also works on wood furniture.)
