How Do I Prevent Scratching My Hardwood Floors?

To prevent scratches, take care to minimize contact between your hardwood floor and abrasion- whether that be from debris, shifting furniture, or pet&#;s claws.

To avoid scratches from furniture, we recommend using felt pads underneath furniture legs including chairs, sofas, and other items that are frequently shifted around.

For homes with pets, we recommend keeping your furry friend&#;s nails trimmed. Your floors will be happy and so will your pet!

To avoid other common sources of floor scratches, keep abrasive materials such as sand outside, gently sweep up debris or other particles that can scrape and scratch, vacuum without the beater bar on, and remove heels prior to walking across the floor.

How Can I Remove Scratches From My Hardwood Floor?

Although removing scratches is one of our top questions about hardwood flooring, there isn&#;t a simple answer we can offer that would work for everyone.

Depending on the type of hardwood floor you have, how deep the scratches are, and how it was finished, this answer can vary greatly from one floor to another.

However, for minor scratches, you should be able to order touch-up products through your contractor or the store you purchased your flooring from.

For larger damage, you may be able to fix it by sanding, repairing, or refinishing your floor with the help of a licensed flooring professional. Unfortunately, for extensive damage that cannot be resolved with the abovementioned methods, complete replacement of the damaged boards may be necessary.

Can I Install Hardwood if I Have Dogs, Cats, or Other Pets?

Yes! In fact, hardwood is one of the most pet-friendly flooring options available on the market. It&#;s easy to clean (bye-bye fur and dander), incredibly durable, and easy to maintain.

However, it&#;s important to ensure that any liquids are wiped up immediately. This includes drool, spilled water bowls, or accidents. It&#;s also important to keep your furry friend&#;s nails trimmed. Your floors will be happy and so will your pup!
