How can I remove surface scratches from timber floorboards?

Hi all,

 

I have dragged a cardboard package across the floorboard and it has left a mark.

 

It is not deep and seems to be surface level.

 

I have tried polishing it with beeswax without much luck.

 

What other methods can be used to remove it?

 

Thank you

Re: How can I remove these light surface scratches

Hello @floorboardshelp 

 

I propose using a soft lint free cloth and applying a bit of Long Life 1L Self Shining Floor Polish and see if it repairs the scuffed surface. Remember to apply only in single straight-line application, do not use a circular motion. Make sure to follow the application instructions. 

 

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when applying the polish. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
