Brilio.net - Wooden tables are pieces of furniture that have a fairly long service life. However, with use, this piece of furniture can experience various problems. One common problem is that the table surface becomes blurry or dull.
A dull table can be caused by various factors, such as scratches, liquid spills, heat from plates or glasses, and exposure to direct sunlight. Not only that, wooden surfaces that are not properly maintained are also susceptible to damage due to accumulated moisture and dust.
The dull condition of the surface of a wooden table can reduce the value and lifespan of the furniture. When a wooden table looks dull, the room becomes poorly maintained and unattractive. In fact, a well-polished wooden table can become the center of attention and add warmth and beauty to the room.
Therefore, by regularly caring for and maintaining it, it can have a big impact on the beauty and function of a wooden table. Not only is it cleaned regularly, some people sometimes carry out maintenance by sanding and repainting the surface of the wooden table. This can make the wooden table even more shiny and shiny.
Instead of sanding and repainting, there is a trick you can do to make a wooden table shinier. This trick was shared by Instagram user @rumah_stia in one of the uploaded videos. He admitted that there was kitchen dregs that could be used to make a wooden table shinier.
Reported by BriioFood from Instagram @rumah_stia on Tuesday (30/7), the kitchen dregs used are coffee grounds. Well, these coffee grounds can help remove stains or dust that make the table surface dull. Apart from making it cleaner, these coffee grounds also tend to make the table surface shiny.

How to use it is quite easy. Prepare unused coffee grounds. Then immediately sprinkle it all over the surface of the wooden table.
Next, rub the surface of the table using the coffee grounds. Just rub with your hands for a few minutes. If you feel that the table is cleaner and shinier, lift it and throw away the remaining coffee grounds using a tissue. That way the wooden table will look shinier.

Not just for tables, you can also use this trick for furniture or other home furnishings made from wood. Basically, coffee grounds not only have abrasive properties that remove dirt. However, the natural oil content in coffee grounds can restore shine to the surface of the wood.
