how can I remove scratches from hard wood flooring?

Question

I have scratches in my Cherry wood flooring. Whats the best way to remove them?

Answer 1

I use Howard's Restore A Finish in the tinted cherry wood tone. Old English also sells one that will fill in the scratch, but I like the the Howard's better because it more closely matches. You can find it at the home improvement store, it is inexpensive and quick and easy to apply. You will also see stain marker pens in all of the wood tone tints in the paint/stain aisle that can fill in scratches. None of these methods "removes" the scratches, but they fill them in with color so they are less noticeable without the expensive, time and effort of sanding, re-staining and resealing.

Answer 2

The only way is to get an industrial floor sanding machine and go over the affected area. The problem is that once sanded, even after re-staining, the sanded area will look different from the rest. Probably best to do the whole floor. The sander will cost the same anyway. Best of luck. It will give you something to do over the holiday. Happy Christmas.

Answer 3

First clean the floor and then apply a new coat of varnish. Sherwin-Williams sells the best varnish for this job.Allow the varnish to dry 48 hours before you move back your furniture.

Answer 4

depends on how deep they are, clean them and re-apply finish if light. heavy ones will have to be sanded, or an easy fix to heavy (deep/wide) stain a darker color. It adds character and charm.
