Thank you for the comment and reminding me that it’s not as bad as it seems in my head. I guess it’s just right when you walk into our main room so it’s easily noticeable (sorry for the blurry photo), and I would like to fix it (or at least make it better) if at all possible. I’m just scared it will mess it up more, since the flooring company said repairs don’t look good most times and leave shiny spots. We are going ahead with the touch up repair tomorrow and I’m praying it makes it better. Really appreciate your comment!

The finish looks like it is still intact (to some extent). The scratch and the attempted repair have NOT gotten past the stain. That's a GOOD thing.

Your floor looks to be a nice satin. So long as your repair person has the SAME product used on your floor in the first place, you should get a decent finish patch. Of course the sheen is going to be a little different...because one will be 2 months old and the new stuff = 1 day old...but that cannot be avoided.

So long as the wood is protected by the polyurethane (the finish) you are going to be OK. The next time a scratch occurs you will want to use a stain pen (if it penetrates to the raw blonde wood) or a finish pen (a little bit of polyurethane in a pen-like applicator). It will keep you sane and maintain your bank balance.

And please use the magic eraser on metal or tile...that's the only place it should be used. A magic eraser is a HIGH GRIT sand paper. I know you know that. I just thought it was worth repeating in case someone else is reading this.

Thank you so much @SJ McCarthy! This helps tremendously and makes me feel so much better. I appreciate the advice as well. Unfortunately, the repair man had to cancel today so I still have to hold my breath until it can be rescheduled. I assume the sooner, the better? Trying to be patient about this, but I’m super anxious to get this taken care of and hopefully put it behind me. I understand over time floors will get knicks and scratches but my mistake was just so stupid it’s hard to ignore. Thank you so much again! Happy holidays!!!

@ttjl04 Did you get this fixed to your satisfaction? Believe me, I've made mistakes and panicked like this! I have used magic erasers on my clear shower door to get rid of hard water spots but that's about all I've noticed it is good for. I didn't realize it was like "sandpaper" so I'm glad to know before I did any damage with one.

@Abby Mac Hi Abby! I did get it repaired. it looks better, but from certain angles you can see the shiny spot where it was done. I’ll attach two photos below - these are both post-repair and taken from different angles. Lesson learned, that’s for sure!!

it all depends on where the light is hitting it. The next one is an example of when you can’t see it 😊

I had to look really closely to see it, and I'm still not 100% sure I did. Nobody you hadn't told it was there would ever look that closely. I think you're good. :)

@DavidR thank you!😊😊

Lesson learned for sure! I think I'll toss my magic erasers. They don't do a great job of removing hard water stains anyway. I don't see the difference in the pictures, and I bet you will be the only one to really be able to see it. Whew!!
