my wooden floor has dents and marks in it

Each floor is different, however these are natural products which will mark, dent and scratch over time. Wood is strong and resilient but ultimately when subjected to enough force it will show the effects.

Cause:
High heels or stones in the solos of your shoes, dropping heavy objects, furniture or appliances being dragged or finally casters.

Prevention;
Remove foot ware or maintain proper heel-tip protectors. Provide large felt or rubber protectors under heavy furniture legs. Use furniture casters for the future.

Cure:
For small individual dents where wood fibres are not broken, cover with a dampened cloth and press with an electric iron to draw fibres up. If this doesn’t work the only other options is to sand down you floor and refinish.
