Pinterest has many solutions for cleaning. My hardwood floors could use a good fix and shine application. There is actually still a spot where black paint from my son‘s project in high school hit the sanded wood before the sealant application years ago. I kind of liked it, so I just left it after smearing it into the wood.
We’ve dropped a number of destructive things which have left dings, dings I’ve tried to fix. We have scratches. Lots of scratches from high chairs, little ride-on toys, pulling the fridge out for cleaning, and the general wearing of our pea-gravel-embedded shoes in the house. It’s silly, but apparently I get a little sentimental about over-use of hardwood floors. The shine is gone, the memories linger.
Nah…I’m just a little too realistic to think these floors will glisten again. They’re clean enough, and if they look too good? We might be afraid to walk on them. Shiny floors are not in the cards for 2025.
