Here’s the latest ‘quick fix’ tip for your home, using ordinary items around the house. This time? Melted crayons:
Holes and cracks in the floor are no fun, but the fix is pretty simple. Just stick a crayon in the microwave.
Crayons make an excellent filler for small gouges or holes in resilient flooring. Select a colour that closely matches the floor. Melt the crayon in the microwave on medium power over a piece of greaseproof paper, until you have a pliant glob of colour. With a plastic or putty knife, fill the hole. You can use a softened crayon to cover even quite deep scratches on wooden furniture.
