The last thing you want to see on your beautiful hardwood flooring is a scratch. Scratches can occur for various reasons and when they do, they are usually an eyesore. Thankfully there are products on the market that will bring your wood floor back to life. One product is called Exact Match Wood Touch Up. Below is a press release from the company.

Touch Up Products Introduces the “No Sanding Required” Scratch Repair For Wood Floors Kit.

PLANO, Ill., June 29, 2011 -- With the housing market in a tremendous downturn and people being cautious with their discretionary spending, an inexpensive way to repair a wood floor scratch is invaluable. When it comes to hardwood floors, traditional refinishing can cost $2.50–$4.00 per square foot and take days to finish. A typical open floor plan home can easily cost $5000 or more to refinish the hardwood floors. A more economical and timesaving option is the Exact Match Wood Floor Repair kit, which lets homeowners achieve professional results in about 10 minutes time.

The patented Exact Match system will permanently repair scratches or gouges on hardwood floors with no sanding required. The Exact Match “no sanding required” Wood Floor Repair kit includes everything needed to repair shallow or deep scratches on any color or type of wood floor.

The system works in four simple steps: Fill the scratch with the epoxy, select the color from a fan-deck of color cards that matches wood floor colors, wet the card with the supplied activator solution and apply the stain from the card to the epoxy that has filled the scratch. It’s quick, simple and costs a fraction of what a refinish job would cost without the mess and disturbance to your home and schedule.

Previously, only two repair options were available: refinish the entire floor, or replace the board with the scratch. According to company Vice President Don Burch, with the ability to focus only on permanently repairing the scratch while leaving the rest of the floor alone, Exact Match will revolutionize the process of repairing hardwood and wood laminate floors.

"What's unique about our system," said Burch, "is that no sanding is required and you only work on the flaw itself not the whole floor”. “This and the fact you have the ability to easily color match any color wood that you may encounter all in one kit makes it a real value for someone with a nick or scratch on their floor”.

The Exact Match system also works on a variety of surfaces, including wood, leather, aluminum, steel, fiberglass, laminate floors, etc. The color will adhere to almost anything.Repair kits are available from $39.95 to $69.95. The company is offering free shipping on orders of $39.95 or more, charging only a $2 handling fee.

it works well but when we do dusting or clean with wet cloth , the surface accumulates dust and then it loose its shine.

Depending on the colour of the wood, i use coffee, but my floor is relatively new, therefore it does not have many scratches but up to now this method is working well.
