How do I get rid of high heel dents on a hardwood floor ?

Question

My "harwood" floor is permiated with divots from my high heels...I rent and want to get rid of them marks...any thoughts?

Answer 1

Rhoda K has the correct answer. You can only remove the indentations with sanding and refinishing the hardwood floors.

"Kate" could not possibly be more incorrect in her answer. I would highly suggest that you disregard her entire post. Hardwood can and will develop indentations from high heels. They can also be easily sanded out (assuming it is true hardwood and not a veneer).

Pergo (genuine) will not be affected by high heels (a grand piano can be rolled across it with no ill effects) -unless- the heel is in disrepair (exposed metal). Pergo -cannot- be sanded, buffed or repaired with bondo in any expectation of masking these indentations.^

Answer 2

It sounds like you need to refinish your floors! The only way to remove the dents is by sanding and refinishing your floors. It usually is pretty affordable. Check out www.dwelldesignbuild.com and email them they can help you find a good price for flooring.

Answer 3

I LOVE YOU =D

Answer 4

I can suggest one method that MAY work. place a damp cloth over the mark(s) and use your iron over the cloth. This is a method used by woodworker to remove dents. If they are too deep, it may not work. A woman on spiked heels has more pounds per square inch than a concrete building.

Answer 5

A  true  hardwood  should  Not  develop  the  divots .

Your   floor  may  be  Pergo  ?

If  it  is  an  actual  wood  plank ,  you  should  be  able to  buff  it  but  any  sanding  or  buffing  would  'remove'  more  floor  { creating  bigger  indentations } .

If   it's  Pergo ,  some  bondo  filler  and  coloring  ?
