Thomasville Flooring Complaint - Poor quality of thomasville enginerred flooring - Prefinished dark Walnut engineered hardwood

I'm with you. I've had the same problems. The floor smudges easily (it needs to be cleaned daily) and scratches very easily.

Smudges on hardwood can be removed with lighter fluid on a rag. Scratches are part of every hardwood, depending on the finish the manufacturer uses. Aluminum oxide scratches alot easier, scratching the aluminum oxide not the actual wood. Engineered floors are just a layer of hardwood over a subbase therefore they cannot be refinished. Best tool for scratches is an Almond stick. You can buy it at a local hardware store for about $6 and it will fade out any scratching on hardwood. I even use it on wood furniture. These are the hints we give to all our customers at our flooring store.

An almond stick? What is that? In what section of the typical hardware store would I find that?

cherpep, you can also buy it in the paint department at a Meijer store.
