Use a dry mop, broom, or vacuum cleaner every day to clean debris or sand on the floor surface to avoid surface scratches. If scratches or wear have occurred, you can perform a light polish and the floor will be as clean as new. Other simple fixes include:
Use paint or elastic floor seal paint (after cleaning) to hide most of the small to medium wear. Stain repair tools are also useful.
If the scratch is deep (such as a groove, cut or dent), then it is best to replace the floor, which is relatively simple. Wear is similar to deep scratches because any object that causes wear (shoes, chairs, carts, etc.) can cause heat transfer and damage the wear layer. Other solutions include attaching a tennis ball to the top of the stick, wiping the wear scars, or using a rubber pad to wipe the worn area. Deep wear marks that damage the wear layer can be treated with a floor polish. When it is used properly, it helps minimize visible damage.
