That is why we love to share inexpensive solutions to household problems… and thanks to our friends at houselogic.com we found a 99 cent solution to a common problem we’ve all had before. Why pay hundreds of dollars repairing your countertops when you can pay pennies!
If you’ve ever had a scuff mark on a colored countertop… who hasn’t, you know that it sadly becomes the room’s focal point. But we found the right supplies to save you any embarrassment.
Supplies you’ll need from the 99 cent store:
- Crayons, 99 cents
- Spatula knife, 99 cents
- A microwave-safe bowl, 99 cents (If you have one you’re willing to sacrifice to melt crayons, you just saved another 99 cents.)
Total: $2.97. ($3.96 if you throw in a lemonade-type drink.)
What you do:
- Pick the Crayon whose color comes closest to matching your countertop. Peel off the paper and place it in the bowl.
- Pop the crayon and bowl in the microwave.
- Pour the hot, melted crayon onto the scuff mark and work it into the indentation with the spatula knife.
- Scrape off the excess with the spatula knife.
The Crayon mixture will harden and dry quickly, erasing your countertop flaw.
