TL;DR

  • Fabric softener can be used to repair minor scratches and restore shine to lacquered parquet floors.
  • Mix two capfuls of fabric softener with warm water, soak a microfiber cloth, wring it out, and wipe the damaged areas, then the entire floor.
  • For deeper scratches, a walnut kernel can be rubbed directly into the scratch to fill and even out the color.
  • Avoid using too much fabric softener to prevent a sticky residue.
  • These methods are cost-effective and avoid the dust and expense of professional sanding.
