Much like any other wood floor it requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Here are a few things you should do to preserve the beauty of your hand scraped floors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vacuum or sweep as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe off spills or stains using a rag soaked with the recommended cleaner.<\/li>\n<li>Use a colorant like Sharpie or matching stain to hide any scratches or dents.<\/li>\n<li>Most importantly when your floor starts losing its luster call a professional to apply a coat of clear urethane.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hand scraped floors are admired for their textured look. This look creates a challenging reality: these floors cannot be refinished with the use of sanding machines. The only way to refinish a hand scraped floor is to re scrape it. That is a task very few professionals are capable of and honestly, not many people can afford.<\/p>\n<p>Even though these floors are unique and different maintaining them is a very simple task. If you follow maintenance guidelines your hand scraped floors could last a lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hand scraped floors are beautiful and full of interesting elements; peaks and valleys, pronounced color variation, knots, mineral streaks and more.
