DH has ruined week old wood flooring

[Veraper]

I feel sick to my stomach.

We have splashed out on parquet flooring for all of downstairs (sick of renting a rug dr after every dog walk). Have been uber cautious with furniture pads etc.

DH saw ink-like black splodges on the floor last night and had to scrub very hard using the green side of the sponge to remove (still slightly visible tbh). And the floor now has white splodges the size of Xmas choc coins.

We are wooden floor newbies, can anyone save my floors? Has the varnish just come off? They are my dream floors and I didn’t even get to enjoy them yet (still doing up the rest of the house)

@Veraper hi OP what happened with your floors in the end? I've had the same issue!!! Did they spot sand? Thank you!!

Oh fgs who has 'dream floors'! These marks are nothing more than the signs of busy family life. Messy and imperfect. :) Look up from the floors and wallpaper, it's all just background and unimportant.

Ffs, it's not ruined!
It's a floor, you walk on it, it's serving it's purpose just fine. These marks add to it if anything because it shows people lived here.
