When scratches or damage occur on the wooden toilet seat cover, the following steps can be taken for repair:
Assess the degree of damage: Firstly, determine the depth and extent of scratches or damage, which will determine the repair method and required materials.
Clean the damaged area: Use mild soap and water to clean the damaged area, ensuring that there is no dust or dirt.
Sandpaper polishing: If the scratch is shallow, you can use fine sandpaper (such as 320 or 400 grit) to gently polish the damaged area to make it smooth.
Filling material: For deeper scratches or damages, it may be necessary to use wooden fillers or wood wax for filling. Choose fillers that match the color and texture of the toilet seat.
Apply filler: Apply filler evenly to scratches or damages, ensuring that the filler completely fills the damage and is slightly above the surface.

Sandpaper polishing: After the filler is dry, use fine sandpaper to gently polish until the filling area is smooth with the surrounding wood.
Painting or waxing: If the toilet seat is painted or waxed, it needs to be repainted or waxed to match the original color after repair. Use wood paint or wax of the same color and type as the toilet seat.
Apply paint or wax: Apply paint or wax according to the product instructions, which may require multiple coats to achieve the desired coverage effect.
Polishing: Finally, gently polish the repaired area with a soft cloth or polishing pad to make it smooth and consistent with the surrounding surface.
