We have all come across unusual household hacks on the internet, but this one might actually make you look at walnuts differently! Actor Nauheed Cyrusi recently tried a rather interesting internet hack to get rid of scratches on her wooden table, and it seems to have worked. Sharing a video of the experiment on Instagram, she showed how a simple walnut could help make a visible mark on wooden furniture disappear. And no, this time, the walnut wasn’t meant to be eaten!
Nauheed Cyrusi Uses Walnut To Remove Scratches From Wooden Table
In the Instagram video, Nauheed can be seen trying the hack on a dent or scratch on her wooden table. She takes a walnut and rubs it directly over the damaged patch, showing the process in real time. After just a few rubs, the visible mark appears to fade away, leaving the surface looking much better.

She first showed visible scratches on the table and then rubbed the piece of walnut on them. “Polish walo, tera kaam toh…” she hilariously said after seeing the effect of the rubbing.
What makes the hack interesting is how simple it is. There are no expensive wood polishes, cleaning products or elaborate DIY steps involved. All you need is a walnut, which you probably already have in your kitchen. Nauheed also seemed pleasantly surprised by how well the trick worked, especially since she was trying something she had come across on the internet.

Why Does Rubbing A Walnut On Wooden Furniture Work?
This isn’t just another random internet trick. Walnuts contain natural oils, and when rubbed against a wooden surface, these oils can help fill and disguise minor scratches. The natural colour of the nut can also help blend lighter marks into darker wood, making them less noticeable.
However, it is worth remembering that this hack works best on superficial scratches and small scuff marks. It may not repair deep dents, chipped wood or damaged furniture finishes. Also, since walnut oil and colour can affect certain surfaces, it is best to test the hack on a small, hidden area first.
