How to repair engineered hardwood floor scratches.

Slightly sand the floor using your sandpaper taking heed not to go too deep or to sand areas without scratches. Engineered hardwood floors are more durable than a traditional wood floor but they can still get scratched. I remove the scratches from my new engineered wood flooring in 1 minute. Make sure you get a type of wax with the correct color for your floor.

The best way to fix a scratch or two in your floor is to purchase a wax based repair kit. Use a plastic putty knife to fill the scratch with wood filler that matches the color of the floor. Let the filler dry thoroughly. Be sure to use a plastic putty knife to apply the filler you don t want to create any new scratches.

It is very easy and fast when you know how and the scratch is not a deep gouge. Due to the fact that engineered floors are not completely solid hardwood they cannot be sanded and refinished indefinitely so your options are a little more limited than with solid hardwood. Thoroughly clean the area and make sure you match the wax to your floor before you fill the scratch. Cleaning alternative for superficial scratches the wood veneer covering your engineered wood floor is normally 1 16 to 1 8 inches hence light sanding can clean any scratch shallower than this.
