Re: NWR: Wood Floor help

Your front entrance is considered high traffic area. You can just have that patch refinished. YOu have to sand the floor and apply 2 coates of polyurathane. You can get those at home depot.
I suggest you put a mat/ rug at the entrance to soak up the water.

I agree with Lucamon u should put a floor mat at the front entrance. Thats what i did too. You can try Murphy's Oil hth!

Murphy's Oil should do the trick, my mom uses it all the time on the wood floors....it brings back the shine.

Re: NWR: Wood Floor help

the murphy's oil doesn't make the floor slippery?

Re: NWR: Wood Floor help

If the murphy's doesn't work (it doesn't work on my floors) try washing the floor with a mixture of white vinegar and water and drying it with a towel. That always does the trick for me :)
