Bizarre hack to get scrapes out of laminate flooring – and it costs 6p from the FRUIT section of your local Asda
A SAVVY woman has found a 6p hack to get rid of scrapes and scratches in your laminate flooring.
There’s nothing worse than seeing scratches all across your flooring but an easy hack can make it look brand new again in seconds.
DIY whizz Lindsey Pedey shared her 6p cleaning hack on Instagram and it’s left people blown away.
The home pro revealed she was moving furniture around when she noticed she’d accidentally scratched her laminate flooring.
Fortunately, she had just the trick to get rid of it, and you can find it in the fruit aisle of your local Asda.
In the clip, she penned: “I put a BIG scratch in our LVP floor moving furniture around yesterday.
“I had a moment (or two) of panic, then remembered something about rubbing an almond on it.”
She decided to get an almond from her pantry, cracked it in half to expose the meat and began rubbing it along the scratch, and in seconds it was gone.
Lindsey was stunned, writing: “AND IT WORKED. You can still very faintly see the scratch if you’re really looking for it, but husband hasn’t noticed so I call that a win!”
The oil from the nut can smooth other scratches and scrapes, and you can use all sorts of varieties depending on the colour of your wooden flooring.
“If you have dark floors try using a walnut instead of an almond! I tried it on my scratch and it definitely had a darker color. Nuts! Who knew!?” she added.
The video posted to her account @ has gone viral with over 57,000 likes.
People were quick to share their thoughts and thank the DIY pro for the hack.
One person wrote: “I just went and tried it on our dining table and it worked liked magic!! Thanks for sharing.”
Another commented: “I need to remember this!”
“Ohh I’ve gotta try this!! I did the same thing — scratched my floor moving furniture,” penned a third.
Someone else added: “So crazy that this works!”
You can grab a bag of almonds for just £1.85 for 180g making the hack cost just 6p a time.
