Our dog christened our new hardwood floor and now there’s a big mark right in the middle of the living room. What can we do about it?

If you found it late enough that it caused a stain, you can try to sand out the mark. If it’s not too deep, it will lessen and lighten with time. If it remains, your remedies include restaining the floor, covering it with an area rug, or removing and repairing the area. If you opt for removal and repair, call a professional

Previous Question: I'm finding these tiny holes in my hardwood floor. Do you think it's termites?
Next Question: Our wooden floor looks great, but it recently acquired splits in the tongue and grooves. What caused this and what should we do?
