What Can Damage It?

Protect your floors to keep them shining.

Make sure you’re protecting your hardwood floors by not allowing any kind of footwear that’s capable of damaging your hardwood floors. You don’t want to lose the beautiful luster that you spent so much time and energy on. So make sure that you’re not allowing rough footwear on your hardwood floors. You also need to be careful with furniture. Lift furniture before you move it, and ideally, you want to put pads on the bottom to avoid scratching your floor. Furniture is one of the biggest culprits for scratched hardwood flooring, so don’t let it happen to you. If you have pets, then make sure you’re trimming their nails frequently, as pets with long nails can also cause damage to hardwood floors if it gets bad enough.

What Can I Do?

Make sure that you’re taking steps to prevent the damage in the first place, as mentioned above. Once you’ve taken precautions to prevent further damage, then you can access the damage that has already been done. If the damage isn’t too bad, then you can likely get away with sanding and refinishing it. This is a great way to revitalize your hardwood flooring.
