Q: I moved my area rug and my wood is lighter where my area rug was. What happened?
A: Wood goes through a natural aging process called patina (oxidation). Bright sunlight can also accelerate this condition. Moving area rugs or other items that may cause this effect from time to time is recommended to let the covered area oxidize and blend with the rest of the floor.
