Many owners of the parquet floor are interested in the question of how to remove scratches from there. Parquet is a very strong material, which is why it is quite popular. However, scratches may form without proper care on the flooring.
Description of the article:
In order to eliminate them, you need a set of some materials and tools. We’ll have to take a wax pencil, a rag, a special repair varnish, sandpaper, parquet putty, brush, etc.D. You can relatively simply eliminate the small scratch on the flooring with a wax pencil. It is necessary to choose the optimal color, which will completely coincide with the original parquet board. It is necessary to melt the wax in the oven or the microwave.
You can also soften it with a soldering iron
The melted wax must be thoroughly distributed on the surface of the parquet, which was damaged by a scratch. Then it is necessary to carefully remove all the excesses that form there. Using sandpaper, the upper wax layer is removed, after which the treated area is polished with a rag. A shallow scratch can also be eliminated using ordinary walnut. It must be split and removed from it with a core, with which you should grate the damaged place. As a result of such processing, the wood area will darken.
Repair varnish can eliminate insignificant scratches on the floor
It is necessary to carefully clean the parquet section that is damaged and apply the varnish there according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. After the end of the work, you must wait until the varnish dries completely. You can qualitatively remove a small scratch with the help of a special parquet retouching pencil, which is very easy to operate. It is only necessary to carefully fill all the parts of the scratch.
To eliminate deeper scratches, you will have to use a special putty. It is necessary to choose it in accordance with the color of the parquet. It is applied to a scratch with a spatula, which also eliminate unnecessary surpluses. After the putty hardening, it is necessary to polish the treated surface with sandpaper. The final stage is the cleaning of the dust formed, after which the place of the floor, where there was a scratch, is varnished.
