Wire-brushed wood floors are the perfect finishing touch to achieve a rustic, farmhouse ambiance. How are they made? They’re hardwood planks or LVP that have been scraped with a short, stiff bristled wire brush, creating an elegant, distressed surface. If you’re wondering why someone might choose to scuff up a perfectly good floor, the reason might be because light scraping can bring out the grain of the wood even more. It can also be a great way to achieve a vintage or reclaimed wood type of look if you’re unable to find real reclaimed wood. One reason why this look is so popular is because it can help hide small scratches and scuffs. However, when it comes to cleaning, simply wiping with a cloth may not be enough and you’ll have better results with a microfiber mop.
