I knew I was going to try it, though! See, I have this table:

my preciousssss... |
My husband hates it, but I just adore it! I have a
I mixed about 1/2 cup vinegar with 1/2 cup of olive oil, because I didn't have enough Olive Oil and it still worked! Check it out:
I took a kitchen rag and just dipped it in and rubbed it on. I kept going until I had gone over the whole table and used almost all of the mixture. I was shocked! It really worked! The scratches were fixed! My "grandpa table" now looks like this:
Let's just do a little side by side comparison, shall we? I think this deserves it's own montage. Try and imagine Rocky music in your head for me as we watch the transformation:
Yikes! That is a crazy difference! Not only does it look better but my table is now silky smooth and clean. Um, yeah, I'd say it worked! The best part (unless you're my husband) is that now my precious table is a totally usable piece of furniture again, and has been restored to it's rightful place in our entry way hall:
I forsee this table and I having a long and happy life together now, sorry Honey!
I think I can pretty obviously say that I recommend it as a successful scratch fix. Let me know how this works for you! If you're looking for more of our home projects, you can find there on our For the Home page here.

Thanks! You really should, I was shocked at how well it worked!
DeleteI'm very excited to try this out! I was wondering what type of vinegar you used?
DeleteThe picture looks as if white vinegar was used.
DeleteHow long does it last, though? Does anyone know. I tried something before, not this recipe, and it took care of the problems and looked absolutely beautiful. But, after a month or so, it was back to all the scratchy looking surface that it was prior. I would have to keep reapplying. Is this a permanent fix or would reapplication need to be done? Anyone know?
DeleteAt the top it says 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup and down the page it says 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup....do you know which one it should be? Thanks
Deleteshe clearly states that she only used 1/2 and 1/2 because she didnt have enough olive oil on hand but it still worked. The recipe calls for 1/4 v to 3/4 oil
DeleteI tried this on some worn hardwood floors and they look like I waxed them. I have tried other products and gotten results that didn't last more than 24 hours. If this doesn't last I will do it again. I am amazed. Thanks, Judy Carlson 4-45, 2014
DeleteI was wondering how this worked/held up on floors...my biggest concern would be the oil being tracked elsewhere creating stains and attracting dirt....??
Delete@Doug's Blog...Judy Carlson.
does it have to be olive oil?

DeleteWow! I can't wai to try this on our 90 year old table! If it works I can finally use it with pride!! Thank you so much for the tip.
Deletei have used this trick for years..with one exception..on darker wood use apple cider vinegar. hope this helps !!
DeleteThe table looks beautiful! I'm pinning this!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It really worked so much better then I expected, I love it! Now I want to try it on all the other not so pretty wood furniture in our house.
DeleteThat is so incredible! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteHow long did it last for? How often do you have to reapply?
DeleteWow, that's incredible! A couple of weeks ago I went to the thrift store and bought a wooden coffee table with scratches. I love the table but I was wondering what to do about the scratches. Anyways I can't wait to try this trick, hope it works on my table. :)
ReplyDeleteJust pinned it!!! Again...thanks for sharing!
DeleteYou're welcome Rosa! I just love it when I see other people testing out popular Pins. Let us know how it works for you!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! This is amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a square hand-me-down coffee table that looks just about the same way your hall table looked, so I'm definitely giving this a try! Any idea how/why this method works? Oh, and about how long did you spend rubbing in the oil/vinegar mixture?
Thanks! ~Lisa @ HappyinDoleValley :)
Hi Lisa! We were just discussing this the other day. We theorized about why this works and after looking it up we found this: The vinegar is just acidic enough to cut through all of the built up oils/artificial cleaners/dirt that is clogging up the scratches and scuffs. Once the vinegar strips the old dirt and oils, the olive oil is able to seep into the scratches and give the wood more color and the moisture that it needs. I don't know how well this would work with a very dark finish, I have only tried it on lighter finishes, but hopefully it will work for you!
DeleteThanks for the explanation on why and how this works -- that's what I was wondering about as I read the article. Awesome tip!
DeleteI tried this on a very darkly stained cedar chest, and it worked great. I'm truly amazed at how well this works.

DeletePS: Pinned this post!
ReplyDeleteWell..this is just what I need. Seems like one of the kids has scratched some letters in my end table. If this works, I am going to be so excited! Pinning it to try later today. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteHow does this work, do you know? I don't want to put anything on some of my wood furniture(but some scuffs and scratches) unless I know it won't hurt the finish! BTW, your before/after really shows the remarkable change this magic potion wrought on your vintage table. And, for what it's worth, I agree with you. I think your vintage table is quite stylish and fits the space perfectly. What is one man's "grandpa table" could be worth a small fortune 50 years from now...
ReplyDeleteHi! Hilary and I were just talking about this! Both vinegar and olive oil are completely natural materials, so I don't believe they will hurt the finish at all. We were theorizing about why this works and after looking it up we found this: The vinegar is just acidic enough to cut through all of the built up oils/artificial cleaners/dirt that is clogging up the scratches and scuffs. Once the vinegar strips the old dirt and oils, the olive oil is able to seep into the scratches and give the wood more color and moisture. I don't know how well this would work with a very dark finish, I have only tried it on lighter finishes, but hopefully it still works for you!
DeleteI tried it on a old dark finish coffee table, that I just bought from an older gentleman today, and it didn't work for me.. :( I'll probably have to buy a touch up furniture pen..
DeleteWow! I am trying this on the spots in my floor. There are so many scratches from chairs and tables. Pinned!
ReplyDeletePlease let us know how it works for you!
DeleteVery nice. Usually I see tables, whatever, like that they get painted. Sure the ingredients are easy enough to find and use--no chemicals that shut dowwn the respiratory system.

ReplyDeleteI am totally trying this on my dinding room table, which just got some mysterious scratches on it. You may have just saved my furniture (and my marriage, as I think one of my craft projects is the culprit of the scratches)! Thank you in advance! Stopping by from http://hoybycrafts.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'll be trying this on the dresser in my son's room - after he leaves home. :o)
ReplyDeleteI don't feel as strong as your husband, the table isn't my style, but it really looks beautiful now!
Thanks! It's my favorite piece in the house, save my 1960's mod chair. Let us know how the dresser turns out!

Pinned! :) I've got a table I can't wait to tackle with a vinegary, oily rag! :D
ReplyDeleteLol! Anyonita, I used an old rag and threw it away afterwards! There was no way this would have washed out easily!
DeleteThat's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have a dark wood dinning room table and have three cats that have left a few scratch's on it what do you will it work
ReplyDeleteHoward Restore a finish..is..fantastic too!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great tip to file away for the next time we see a cool thrift find...or until your son plays cars on your coffee table!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a difference! Thanks so much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteIm confused by how much you used. YOu said the orginal advice was 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup. Did you use 50-50 mixure??
ReplyDeleteThis mix worked on removing scratches from a chest of drawers that was my grandparents and a vintage mahogany table that I purchased with a scratch on it. Was happy to find a natural fix!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear it's worked for you! My table still looks amazing almost three months later. I will probably re-wash it with this mixture again in another month or so, but it still doesn't need a touch up yet!
DeleteThat's amazing! I'd be interested to hear how it stands up over time. Do you have to redo every time you clean or add extra varnish later, etc?
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the answer to this question too.
DeleteThis is amazing! Thanks for sharing this tip!
ReplyDeleteI am trying this as soon as I get home!! Thanks so much. I've pinned it too.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thanks for the info! I love the painting you have of the 3 kids above the table. Would you mind telling me who painted that?
ReplyDeletedidn't work on my dark finish. makes sense based on the explanation above. it did make my table nice and shiny!
ReplyDeletewhat ratio is actually being used? Original says 1/4c vinegar to 3/4c olive oil. Second ratio says 1/2c to 1/2c (equal parts) and the picture, at least to me looks like it is 3/4c vinegar and 1/4c olive oil. I really want to try it but dont want it to be an epic fail.
ReplyDeleteI used 1/2 and 1/2 because that's what I had on hand. I think as long as you're mixing the two ingredients it wouldn't be an epic fail.
DeleteI LOVE THIS!And I totally understand what you mean by the rocky music in your head,cus I just tried it AND IT WORKED!qw bought a worn down dresser on Craig's list for my girls' room and figured we would just paint it,then I came across this on Pinterest and you saved the day.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I'm so happy to hear it worked for you! I know what you mean about that invincible feeling!
DeleteI have an old wood floor from the 30's that I swear has never been redone. I was going to rent a machine, sand, stain, and then polyurethane it but I'm dreading all the work...I think I will try this to see if it will give it a new look until I can get around to redoing the floor...wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, if you try this on a wood floor, PLEASE tell us if it works! That would be amazing! I don't see why it wouldn't, you will probably want to make sure you give it time to dry before you walk on it but I think wood is wood is wood...especially lighter woods this seems to work well. Let us know how it goes!
DeleteThank you so much for sharing this. I just tried it and was blown away! So happy how much better my furniture looks now. YAY!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks amazing! I have a couple of tables I'll need to try this on! Thanks!
ReplyDeletedoes it have to be olive oil or can you use any kind of oil?
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! As far as I know you can use mist kinds of oil, I've used it with canola oil now and it still worked. I just used olive oil because that's what I had on hand!
DeleteJust tried it and it worked! thanks, I have a vintage stack of coffee tables and I had a scratch drawn by my little one all over by pen, ouch!. so visible and the other one had a plant pot mark that spilt over. Both disappeared strait away and the tables look amazing. I can't see a thing on it now. So happy. Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I used 1:1 ratio of olive oil and white destilled vinegar. and gave it a little whisk to comine :)
ReplyDeleteI had tried this before on our wooden floors with the original ration of 3/4c olive oil to 1/4c vinegar and it looked horrible, tried it again just now with 1/4c canola oil and 1/4c vinegar and it still is awful. It just makes the floor really slippery and oily and makes the scratches look MUCH WORSE and they maintain a "wet" look, so the floor stays light coloured and the scratches turn a much darker colour and stand out like a sore thumb. I did then try it on our dining room table and coffee table as they had really dulled over the years and it worked very nicely on them. Just not for floors I guess.
ReplyDeleteI used this on my dark wood hope chest and nothing:(
ReplyDeleteFor darker finishes, swap out the white vinegar for AC vinegar. It contains natural tannins that should help. But it's a little more acidic than regular white vinegar, so I wouldn't do 50/50. You can also replace the olive oil with walnut oil.
DeleteI bought two ladderback chairs for grandgirls' first apartment. The wood is not real bad, but I knew it could use something to cover scratches, etc. I have applied the mixture to the chairs, but it appears I will need to wipe them down. I am leaving them overnight and, then, wiping. I will post, again, when that is down. Right now, they look great, but they are, still, "wet."
ReplyDeleteOOps....couldn't wait until morning. I got an old hand towel and wiped....they are beautiful! I am so excited. It works! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI tried this on my kitchen table. Someone scratched the number 1 on the top. This procedure filled in the color on most of it after about 20 minutes of rubbing the vinegar & oil in. It is a very deep scratch. I may try it one more time. It does give the table a very nice sheen.
ReplyDeleteOur dogs have drooled on and scratched two window sills when they hear "Daddy" drive in. I just used this mixture, and the wood looks so much better! I only wiped on them for a short time (maybe 15 seconds), and the areas discolored from the drool are no longer discolored. Someone mentioned working on a deep scratch for about 20 minutes, so I'll heed that advice and work on the scratches for a longer time. Overall, though, wow, those sills look SO much better!
ReplyDeleteI tried this today on an old Ethan Allen coffee table. It really improved the look of the wood and didn't stay greasy after a wipe-down with a cloth rag. Also worked on mahogany amd teak furniture in my house. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI read this and had to try it right away. I didn't scrub as long as I would like to but it looks ok. With a little elbow grease I think it will be amazing. Just one thing....although it works great...my dog really liked it too! He was licking as fast as I was scrubbing. Will have to do this when he isn't around next time!
ReplyDeleteDoes not work on dark wood
ReplyDeleteWorks ok on light wood.
I have read on the same topic, this one is actually enlightening.
ReplyDeleteFloors Direct
Quick question. I have the mixture on my kitchen table. It's a cherry dark wood. Worked great. You can still see the scratches up close but they are greatly disguised. I'm leaving the mixture on to soak in, but do I wipe off any excess. Or do you just leave it oily?
ReplyDeleteHi! I leave it soak for several hours, then gently wipe off whatever doesn't soak in by then. hope that helps!
DeleteAWESOME!! I'm going to try this on an old piece we have in the conference room at work. It needs some love. Pinned, too! I'm visiting today from Shabby Creek Cottage.

ReplyDeleteGreat tip thank you and also...LOVE the painting above the table. Fantastic....
ReplyDeleteThank you!! It was my parent's when they were just married, it was painted by a local artist and is a family heirloom. I love it too! Hilariously, my husband also doesn't like this painting, so this is the corner of "husband's least favorite things." I especially love it though because I have a boy and a girl just like in the picture!
DeleteIt totally worked!! Just tried it on a scratch that was on the footboard to my bed. Thanks for the tip!!

Very creative ideas shared indeed!! To fix up some of my old looking wood furniture scratches I'm looking forward to follow up above provided DIY ways. Thanks mate for great post.
ReplyDeleteWe tried this on our kitchen table and did nothing. I tried it twice. Has anybody tried this on a kitchen table and had success?
ReplyDeleteI tried this on two tables...one dark and one light. The dark table, this did not work... I ended up with a shiny table with scratches. The lighter table it worked on some of the scratches... but not the deeper scratches. I used 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup oil.
DeleteI would recommend this approach to lighter woods with moderate scratches. Anything dark...or deep scratches will not get the same results as what is posted in the pictures.
Correction.... I used 3/4 oil and 1/4 white vinegar.
DeleteThanks so much, this is invaluable information.
ReplyDeleteI got to your site this morning from Facebook and I just want to say that I LOVE your little table. Mid-century modern is very IN right now. And I'll be trying your scratch-fixer remedy on my diningroom table soon. Thanks!
ReplyDeletewonderful tip, and I love your table. Thanks for sharing! Kari
ReplyDeleteI own a green cleaning company and I use a similar mixture about every other month on unsealed wood surfaces. I no longer use olive oil though, I use grapeseed oil, pine oil, and a little orange oil with lemon juice and white vinegar. the mixture of oils works well on different types of wood, it seems to last longer than just the olive oil and the orange and lemon and pine mask the vinegar smell. It also doesn't smell like Italian dressing which some people found disconcerting. For very dark wood you can also add some instant coffee to darken the oils. If you have deep scratches in walnut or pecan colored woods, rub the actual nuts into the scratches before rubbing the oils into it. This doesn't last forever, but neither does dusting, you need to do the maintenance regularly. One word of CAUTION...do NOT use too much, and give the oil time to soak in. I DON'T recommend using it on a floor as it can be slippery.
ReplyDeleteScratches on a wooden furniture is one of the major factor why I don't love having a wooden furniture. It is hard to maintain its nice quality but you have shared us a good way to have it nice and can help us maintain its nice appearance. Nice one!

This did not work on my dark finish dining table. I think it works when the scratch or wear goes ALL THE WAY THROUGH the finish. My table has superficial scratches only- they still look awful- but the mixture couldn't penetrate deeply enough to cover them. Also, as others have noted, you will need to keep applying this. It is not permanent. And I would use mineral oil instead because over time, and with ewxposure to heat, the olive oil could go rancid and make your wood stink. Ask me how I know....
ReplyDeleteThanks Breadwithhoney, this is exactly what I was wondering. Someone on HGTV had said something similar about conditioning butcher block counter tops. They strongly warned that olive oil could ruin the counter top as the oil could co rancid and instead told the viewers to use mineral oil. After reading this post and so many happy comments, I am curious if anyone has had this issue, or has it all been peachy keen? I'm hesitant to try the olive oil, but we already own it. If no one has had this issue I'd be willing to give it a try...
DeleteHi, I used this mixture and it seemed to work well but now my items are greasy! Does this go away?
ReplyDeleteThat is really a great thing. I would like to suggest that instead of repairing the old furniture you can also purchase new modern furniture as I too have recently purchased to decorate our home from Animadomus which was a great experience with them.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Definitely going to try it out in our studio. Many such scratched up pieces cross our path!
ReplyDeleteI will be trying this very soon! Just one question. How long does it last and how often do you have to reapply it?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this tip! It worked like a charm on furniture and wood floor.
ReplyDeleteWe have a huge, wonderful cabinet that was in my aunt's house for 20+ years before living untouched in my parents' basement for another 5. We finally found a use for it, but it wasn't quite going to cut it being scratched, worn, and just plain sad looking. I just used this mixture on in, and all I can say is WOW! This worked wonders. Almost all of the scratches are either gone or seriously improved, and the finish is revitalized. Plus, it couldn't have been easier to apply (a great bonus for such a monstrous piece of furniture). Thank you so much for sharing this tip!!
ReplyDeleteI just tried this too, was excited to find something that was safe..And it Didnt work at all , just made my table oily :(
ReplyDeleteI love the table. Your husband doesn't know what he's talking about. That thing is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow, that really did work well. Now I'm going to have to look around for scratches on some furniture so I can try it myself. Thanks for sharing this great tip.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think that's a great looking piece of furniture. Good save.
This really works. Done. My dining room table looks fabulous.

ReplyDeleteI love the style of the table, can't imagine why your husband doesn't like it. But I hate the cheap-looking plastic basket with it. Please swap it or a pretty naturally woven one!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI just tested this. How long should it dry, and if it does not dry, I wipe off the remainder with a washcloth or dry kitchen towel?
I have already begun to see a difference after half an hour. :)
I have used this and it works great. I have a water mark that didnt go away but all the scratches mars and wear marks are gone. I keep a jar of it mixed up and use it like a polish. So to answer the question how long does it last, I havent had to do it again and its been months but if I want a high gloss shine I just pour a little on and polish it up. I have even started using it on my cupboards.
ReplyDeleteI have a question . Can i use when the wood is painted with a dark color?

Didn't work at all. I have a dresser the same exact color as your table. All I did was waste my olive oil and leave my dresser super oily as heck.
ReplyDeletetried this and it didn't work that well... I'm assuming there needs to be a specific kind of olive oil and/or vinegar to use. It also only works on light scratces. View my results: http://mynicheiswhat.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteIt didn't work for me either but my dog loved licking the table!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you'll read this but I have bedroom furniture that I love. Everyone really does not like it but I do. I was going to send a picture to you so you could give an opinion. It the old modern furniture I guess you know if that's it or not ! Debra

ReplyDeleteGreat tip! I am going to try it. I have 2 1960's end tables and an older Heckman end table I will try this on. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great tip. I have a lot of old furniture and a few of them have scratches because of changing the rooms I live in very often. I'll use the mixture tomorrow to see how it works. Can't wait to see the result!

ReplyDeleteI just used this recipe on my secretary desk. It was covered in scratches and water marks. I just used equal parts of olive and white vinegar. The results were amazing. I am so happy that I don't have to refinish it yet. I think I will try this on my oak window sills to see if it will bring back the luster in the wood. It sorta faded.

ReplyDeleteWould this have a detrimental effect on a table that has been stained a dark colour ? I have fine scratches on a mango wood coffee table that was stained a very dark brown by the makers. It won't strip the stain will it, or make it patchy ?

ReplyDeleteI can fully relate to this. I have got to be very corporation with myself or i'm going to come home with a ton of "just in case" items.
