Tips On Refinishing your Hardwood Floor

All things in life will eventually degenerate if not properly cared for and this is true as well for hardwood floors. Since floors get used all the time, there will be scratches and other damages caused by constant traffic. It is a doable job to restore your hardwood floor. Here are ways on how to refinish old, worn wood floor.

Make a compulsory examination of your hardwood flooring first. Make sure to clean the floor first. Sweep the floor and remove all furniture. Now attach an abrasive pad you have purchased onto the rubberized wheel of your polisher. Make sure that there is an attached abrasive screen of 100-grit before you start. Make sure the entire floor is sanded. Make sure that you do not let the debris proliferate but sweep your floor once in awhile. For those areas that the polisher cannot reach make use of a random-orbit electric sander.

Afterwards, you need to apply finishing. But before you finish it, make sure the floor is properly cleaned. You can vacuum it in few minutes then begin finishing. Cut 3 inches wide of finish along the baseboard and more or less 2 feet down the sides. You need to use a professional-quality angled sash and varnish brush for applying coats of finish. Brush one strip at a time until you finish the whole floor.

Make sure that the small scratches and dents on the floor does not become big holes by having regular maintenance. There should be some rugs and carpets spread around areas of the house where there are heavy traffic so you can at least provide a small amount of protection for your floor. Make it a habit to clean your hardwood floor regularly.

All of the tips given above are great ways to make your old, dull wood floor clean and looks brand new. Just follow these step to add beauty and shine to your hardwood flooring.
