Of course, it can also be difficult to figure out if you need it now. After all, a lot of scratches are in the veneer, not the wood. Here are two ways to tell:? The first is the water test; drop a bit of liquid and if it doesn't sink in, or if it sinks in very slowly,? you can probably wait a few months. If it sinks in immediately, call for service.
Call for service if your boards change color
If your hardwood boards are turning gray, that means there's water damage somewhere. The water is oxidizing, which eventually will become dark spots.? Those dark spots turn black and when that happens, there's no choice but to replace them.?

Simply, you want to protect your investment.? Hardwood floors add value to your home and, if you?re planning to sell, you should know that floors are one of the first things people look at.? Even if you?re not planning to sell, you still want this major square footage to make a great impression.Whatever you do, don?t reach for the orbital sander in your garage! The floors are sanded with a sanding drum; they are laborious, hard to navigate and if you spend even the tiniest time in one area, you?ll put a hole in the floor which leads to costly repairs or replacement.
It also needs to be done smoothly with the grain, not against it. Coats need to be thoroughly dry before reapplying; otherwise, they'll be debris and you'll have a bumpy floor.
