50 Home Repair Tips We Wish We Had Discovered Earlier

Use an iron to remove dents from wood.

Begin by taking a washcloth, soaking it, and wringing out the water to ensure it is just damp. Next, lay the washcloth over the dent. The water will seep into the wood, which is normal, so there’s no need to worry. Make sure your iron is preheated to the highest setting before placing the damp washcloth. Start by moving the iron in small circles on the washcloth. Then press it down until all the water has evaporated from the washcloth. Repeat this process until the dent in the wood has fully returned to its original position.
