TikTok user @endpin123 shared an “unbelievable” hack to remove scratches from wood floors and people report it actually works!

In a video she posted on TikTok, she revealed a scratch she’d accidentally made on her hardwood floors. By the end of the short clip, the scratch is totally gone.

“I just put a scratch on my hardwood floor by accident,” she says at the start of the clip. “And I heard that if you rub nuts on [the scratches], they disappear,” she continued.

Surprisingly, the pecan and walnut work like a charm! The pistachio, she reported, didn’t work so well.

This trick is not a new one, though. Like many of the hacks that are revealed on this app, it predates the world of social media. Some of your older relatives might end up rolling their eyes if you send them this one!

So what is the reason for this trick’s effectiveness? The nuts have a natural oil that can seep into the wood and cover up a scratch, provided that it is not already too deep. Walnuts are considered to be the most effective for at-home usage, but as you can see, this woman found some others that also work just fine.
