Your wood floors are a beautiful part of your home, so when you see scratches it can be frustrating! Let’s talk about scratch repair options to save your floors!
Dog scratches on wood floors or from things such as moving furniture CAN be repaired! The biggest factor in wood floor scratch repair, though, is how deep the scratch is.
Some of the less serious damage can be repaired by things such as:
- Sanding Wood Floors By Hand – Sand the floor with a fine-grained sandpaper, then reapply the stain that you sanded off (make sure to do a test spot in an inconspicuous area first!).
- Fixing the Scratch in Your Wood Floor with Walnut – Warm the walnut between your fingers, then rub it in circular motions over the scratch. Let it sit for a few minutes then buff it with a microfiber cloth.
- Wood Floor Scratch Repair Kits – There are scratch repair kits that can be purchased to repair scratches that sometimes even include the tools and lacquer to perform the repair.
While these methods are useful for fixing lighter scratches, it will take more intensive work to get out deep scratches on your wood floors. For deeper scratches, the best thing you can do for your wood floors is to call in the pros.
