# How to Keep a Rocker From Scratching Hardwood Floors

Covering the whole floor with carpeting is one option but then you have to give up the look and beauty of hard wood flooring. Rather there is a way to keep the look of the hardwood floored rooms while protecting the look of the floor from rocking chair rockers grinding against the wood.
