Furniture Dents 

Four Simple Fixes for Big Results
By M Siddique

According to Good Housekeeping, these are four very simple and very cheap ways to fix your nagging home repair problems.

Dented Wood Furniture - Let's face it, wood furniture tends to get beaten up over the years and is subject to dents, dings, and scratches. For dents: try placing a folded, large, damp, cotton cloth over the dent and set your iron to high (without steam). Press the iron on the cloth for a few seconds, until the water from the towel stops steaming. Viola! Repeat if necessary. For dings and scratches: try using a furniture stain repair marker like Minwax to touch up minor scratches.

Grout Stains - Nothing is more distracting to a tile's beauty than stained, dirty grout. Rather than scrubbing for hours with a toothbrush, try using Grout Inc. by Stone Care International. This nifty product is as easy to use as a marker. Simply wipe the surface clean of any dust or dirt. Then, apply one coat in the shade that matches your existing grout. Wait about an hour and reapply a second coat. Grout and tile will look new again and it will entice any discerning home buyers.

Peeling Wallpaper - Curling wallpaper is often a reoccurring nuisance that is downright unappealing (no pun intended). To re-stick wallpaper once and for all, try using Red Devil's House and Home Restore Wallpaper Seam Repair. It's extremely easy to apply and it won't let your wallpaper peel; even in high humidity.

Squeaky Doors - The last thing you want a potential buyer to hear is the rickety squeak of your door opening and closing. To remedy this, try removing the nail from a single door hinge and clean it thoroughly with a brillo pad. Next, rub petroleum jelly on the nail and slide it back into the hinge. Repeat with the remaining hinges and your door shall squeak no more.
