Problem spots in any home can be easily repaired. Just take inventory and start tackling the list. - To remove crayon, pencil and scuff marks from walls, try a paste of baking soda and water.
- If scuffed linoleum is a problem, rub the area with white toothpaste and a dry cloth (figure A).
- For loose vinyl tiles, clean out any debris before adding adhesive. Then, weight down the edges and allow the glue to dry.
- When heavy furniture leaves impressions in your carpet, place an ice cube in the dent (figure B), then use your vacuum hose attachment to puff up.
- To repair a loose chair leg, add glue to the end and wrap it with thread for a snug fit (figure C).
- To tighten cabinet and drawer pulls that have become loose, simply unscrew and add glue inside the pull and screw the hardware back on.
With these few quick tricks, you’ll soon be a fix-it pro around your home! Web Extras - Always follow manufacturer’s direction when using adhesive and pay close attention to the safety information. Use adhesive in a well-ventilated area.
- To clean up after using a strong adhesive, wash skin and use a hand lotion to reduce tackiness. On surfaces, use a dry cloth on wet glue, or sandpaper or a putty knife when glue is dry.
