Hi,

I think only re-sanding and refinishing will do that. To actually remove the scratches would require some refinishing work. There are some good furniture polishes that contain stain to help the scratches be a lot less noticible.

Instruction Light Scratches

1.Draw over the scratch with a a touch-up marker (or stick) made of wax. These markers can be found at home improvement and flooring stores.

2.Scrape away any excess coloring from the floor with a putty knife.

3.Buff (or smooth out) the area of the scratch with a cloth.

Deeper Scratches

4 Mark off the scratched area with masking tape.

5 Remove the finish from the scratched area with fine-grit sandpaper. Wipe away any dust or grit with a brush.

6 Re-stain the floor with a stain that matches the color of your parquet floor.

7 Apply a new finish and buff the floor. The finish used on parquet floors varies. Older parquet floors often have a varnish or shellac finish. Newer parquet floors are usually finished with polyurethane.

!! A piece of parquet flooring that has been severely damaged or scratched may have to be replaced.

Good Luck!!
