How do I repair a dent in an oak floor, with a depth about the size of a pin head and a width about the size of 2 pin heads? I know it’s small, but my wife notices it when the sun hits it just right.

Since we moved in, the wood floors have a haze over them. We have two active boys and several dogs. We tried to keep the floors as clean as possible. I tried cleaning with almost every type of cleaning product out there, even just water. They all just make it worse. With a sock I can buff it out and make them shiny again, but just a small area because it takes too long.

My wife and I just bought a house in OR. It’s about 30 years old. The house is carpeted now. Can we be sure there is hardwood underneath the carpet? What else could the floor be? How would we know besides seeing it for ourselves?

I have 2000 square feet of hardwood floors, and in some areas the poly looks like it is peeling off. So far I have made one huge mistake: I cleaned all the floors with ammonia, and that took the water, dirt, and wax off of them. Then I used an oil based product called Dura Seal on two rooms. It made a huge difference. I then added a water based poly to one room and it dried great, but you could scratch off the poly. I do not know what to do about that. I do not want to sand my entire house. Can you put a stain over old oil based polyurethane and then use an oil based poly? Any suggestions?
