Scratched coffee table getting you down or proving hard to sell on eBay? Grab some nuts (yes, we mean the edible kind) and prepare to have your mind blown.

Here's the clever life hack from LittleThings.com...

1. Crack open a walnut (you can also use almonds and Brazil nuts) and rub the "meat" of the nut over the scratch on your furniture.

2. As you rub the scratch, you should notice that it eventually fades.

3. For scratches that are quite deep, you'll need to put some elbow grease into the rubbing motion and it should eventually disappear.

Impressed, much?
