I installed oak hardwood floors in our home over a decade ago. In one room, we have a few desks, as that is where my wife and I work on the computer. I knew that office chairs mar the finish of hardwood floors, so I bought us some of those vinyl "floor protecting" mats.

This was a HUGE MISTAKE. I should probably have just used the chairs right on the floor.

The problem is that grit would gather along the edge of the mat. No matter how clean you keep your house, over the months and years, little bits of grit and dirt do come into the room. And the grit gets under the edge of the mat where it proceeds to grind into the wood like sandpaper.

I finally had enough of ignoring the problem. I bought protective rubber wheels for our office chairs, and threw out the mats. Now it is time to clean the floors, pick out the grit, and apply some new polyurethane finish to see if we can save the floor before it gets even worse.

I could not find an exact match on Amazon for the particular floor finish I used. Instead this is a link to a more general Amazon search, which does include other options from the same company.
