Over time, wood floors are losing their shine regardless of how they are often swept waxed and shiny. However, just because your flooring has lost its lustre and a few nicks and scratches here and there does not mean that you have to completely rid the entire flooring and replace it with a new one. This option is more expensive and mostly unnecessary.
