Have a small kitchen with a light wooden floor that is scuffed in areas. Do I have to sand it down or can I just clean it and then put on a finish? Thanks!

Karen...I would recommend sanding first.
You could try a wood floor rejuvenator, Karen. Check your local home improvement store or Amazon.
Try sanding it and see if you like the color if you don’t use a penatrating stain this way you could put on a color .remember if you like the color when you poly it the grain will come out nicely
