light scratch on hardwood floor

[qmqmqm]

Hi everyone.

There is a light scratch on my hardwood floor. The hardwood floor is generally kept in pretty good shape, so it's not worthwhile to refinish the whole floor.

The scratch is light - the hardwood finish on top of the scratch still remains, and no bare wood is exposed.

Is there any way I can fix the scratch? And roughly speaking how much would it cost?

Thanks a lot!

Min Wax has two differace ways to fix it.
Express Color and Blend fill pen.

I've also just used a tiny bit of color matched stain on a cloth.

"The scratch is light - the hardwood finish on top of the scratch still remains, and no bare wood is exposed."
How do you get that from this?

I read that wrong.

Hi guys. I very much appreciate the comments above! Maybe I didn't explain the problem clearly enough... The finish appears to be intact. There is, however, a slight dent. Maybe a "dent" is a better word to describe the situation, as "scratch" seems to imply that the finish is scratched off.

Do the above suggestions still hold?

Thanks a lot!

Have you tried a wet towel and a steam iron on the dent? Sometimes steam can make the dented area come back level. Just be careful you don't apply to much moisture.

That works if the steam can get thruy the finish.:rofl:
I only thought I was wrong.
