How do I remove scratches on vinyl hardwood floors?

Question

A year ago we purchased vinyl wood for our floors and there are some areas that have scratches from furniture being moved. Flooring was from Lumber Liquidator. Is there a way to remove those scratches?

It's vinyl - you can't sand them away. I had the same problem. First I used Old Engilsh Furniture Polish for dark furniture - it stained some of the shallower scratches. Then I used a permanent marker for furniture. The markers come in various brown/wood shades and can be found in a home improvement big box store. I just went over the scratches and it seemed to make them disappear.

Hi Leslie, they sell scratch remover and liquid seam at hardware stores. Also, I think this can help you: https://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-repair-a-scratched-vinyl-floor-tile
