Step-by-step

Step 1
Start by selecting the furniture marker that best matches the colour of your furniture. Next, activate your marker by shaking it vigorously with the cap still on. Remove the cap and carefully press the nib down a few times on a piece of absorbent paper until the ink fills the tip. Once you've finished using your marker, remember to always replace the cap properly and store it horizontally.

Step 2
Next, go over the scratch using the marker. The sturdy nib is designed to help you draw a neat, accurate line.

Step 3
Wipe over the area around the scratch with a clean cloth.

Step 4
And that's it! In no time at all, the annoying scratch will have disappeared and your furniture will look almost as good as new.
