Hot tea on the floor: pour it, it bodes well!
Scratches on hardwood floors are unsightly and frustrating, let’s face it. The wood eventually loses its natural warmth and defects become more and more obvious. However, tea is enough to solve this annoying problem. The tannins present, in fact, will revive the color and make it uniform. Prepare a pot of boiling water, then steep 15 black tea bags for 6 minutes. It must be very busy! Remove them and let the liquid cool completely. Now dip a microfiber cloth or mop inside and wipe it on the surface to be treated.
