Office Chair Damaged Wood Floor
I have wood floors in my dining room that we now use for an office with a roller chair. The chair started to dull and seemed to whiten my floor. We bought a plastic floor mat to solve the problem, but the marks are still there.

My old wood floors had been hidden under carpet. They were to the point of slivering up through the rugs, I fixed them with cooking oil, tea bags and liquid floor wax.

Grey Marks on Timber Flooring
I suspect the greyish marks on my timber flooring are from sprays (insect repellent, sunscreen) being used and the polish has been stripped. Is there any cleaning method or product I could try without having to have the floor re-sanded?

I have cigarette burns in the carpet of my car. Can someone please tell me how I can get rid of them and/or disguise them? The burns are in conspicuous places and it looks awful. Thanks very much.

Steam Cleaner Left Mark on Linoleum Floor
I bought one of those popular new floor steam cleaners from HSC and I let it sit in a spot after I was done. It left a big white water mark on a linoleum kitchen floor. Usually a water mark fades away in 24 hours but this one is not.

Camouflage Scratches on Wood Floors
If you have hard wood floors with scratches on it I have found that using left over strong coffee with a soft rag and rubbing it into the wood helps hide the scratches.

Removing Carpet Stains and Burns
When I have carpet issues, I first use some Dawn detergent on a microfiber cleaning cloth. When that does not work, I get out my acrylic craft paint, some q-tips and dot the paint over the stain until it matches the carpet. Use minimal paint and work slowly.

Scratched on High Gloss Floor Tiles
I have high gloss floor tiles. They have marks on them that I cannot remove. They are scratches from a metal bucket I used while washing the floor. They are smooth to the touch and are on the surface only .
