We have been living in our current home for over two years now. It was a bit of a mess when we moved in. We have put some love into it, but we have also put some wear and tear into it. We know that our time here is probably a year and a half left at the most, then it is off to wherever the Air Force decides to send us next. So in the back of my head I’m starting to make a mental list of all the fix-it’s that we will need to do before we are ready to sell. One very glaring issue were these lovely scratch marks left on my front door by my adorable dog. {she’s lucky she’s cute}

It finally started bothering me enough that I started to wonder if there was a quick and easy way to get rid of scratches in wood. I really didn’t want to strip, sand, stain! So I started experimenting and I totally stumbled upon DIY gold! Do you see all those scratches up there? I hated HATED them! So let’s do something about them…..

The first thing I did was clean the door with some Murphy’s Oil Soap. Which was good. Then I used the Old English scratch cover (for dark woods). Which was awesome. I literally just rubbed both of these on and wiped them off and the end result was amazing.

LOOK AT THAT DOOR! Doesn’t it look brand new?

Let’s compare just so we can reeeeeeally see the transformation! This took me all of 10 minutes to go over the whole door and little effort. So I immediately started trying it out on my kitchen cabinets and the result is just as awesome! You know all those little nicks and scuffs from vacuuming and you know, kids! Gone. I kinda can’t wait to tackle all of the wood work in the house now!

So what do you think of this quick and easy “How To Fix Scratches in Wood” idea? Have to tackled scratches in your wood before? What did you use and did it work?
