Hi there, you could screen and recoat.
Screening, also known as buffing, is a quick, relatively inexpensive method of shining wood floors, which involves lightly abrading the top coat of polyurethane, then applying a new coat of finish. This works best when the finish has been damaged, but the wood hasn’t. “It’s a fast way to revive a floor that is in decent condition.
There is a product called Rejuvenate that works great for exactly this! They also sell it with a spray mop attachment making it super easy to apply!
We've personally used this on wood floors as well as our front door and outdoor rocking chairs!
