How to Repair a Burn Mark on a Wooden Floor
Burn marks on wooden floors, like the one shown in the image, can be both unsightly and concerning. Whether caused by a dropped hot object or another mishap, they require prompt attention to restore the floor’s appearance and prevent further damage. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to handle this issue effectively:
Materials You’ll Need:
Sandpaper (fine and medium grit)
Wood filler (optional for deeper burns)
Putty knife
Wood stain or finish (to match the floor color)
Clear polyurethane or floor sealant
Soft cloth or sponge
Protective gloves and mask (for sanding and applying chemicals)
Step 1: Assess the damage
