This little item may come in handy for minor scratches in hardwood

Minwax stain markerI just came across this handy little item on Amazon, and thought I'd pass along.  If you get a few minor scratches in your hardwood floors, try Mixwax stain marker.

 

This item comes in many colors, including ebony, dark walnut, golden oak, provincial, early american, red oak, cherry.

 

This is meant to help when you have a few minor scratches.  If your floors are very worn down, your best solution is a sand & refinish, but this handy dandy item can help those minor mishaps.

Debbie, it is those little things that can help make a big difference.  That little marker looks like it will take care of those minor scratches.

Debbie-always good to hear that our Flooring Girl has shared an item with us. I needed something like this with our hardwood floors in VA.

I used to do furnature repair at retail stores across ND and I used this stuff all the time Debbie Women of Westchester Working Together , it works great! There are the crayon types and the magic marker types, both work well.
