Author scuffed hardwood floor

OK here's the situation:

Cleaning my hardwood floor...dragged sofa across floor and put scuff
marks on floor. Wood doesn't look damaged or scratched...grain is
intact.

Easy way to correct this?

Also...have 2 dogs and live in country...they run outdoors, through a
pond and bring the outdoors inside....I clean the floor with Murphy
oilsoap in water.

Any better ways to clean a floor?

Thanks everyone

If cleaning does not remove it, try buffing the marks out using a
terry-cloth towel.

A minute cleaning with a quality broom and dust pan each time the dogs
enter should help keep it clean. A vacuum (with hardwood floor
attachment) will work too. A damp cloth should remove mud, but if you
can dry the dogs before they enter the house, all the better. When
cleaning try not to get the floor too wet, and keep the time the floor
is damp to a minimum to avoid raising the grain. Wet-cleaning a floor
with no or a severely worn/damaged finish is not recommended.
