How do I refinish hardwood floors?
Sponsored Ad
Hardwood floors that appear worn or lackluster could be revitalized with a refinishing process that can be accomplished in three phases: sanding, staining, and finishing.
- Rent an orbital floor sander.
- Sand the floor, ensuring the sander is constantly moving and working down from the heaviest grain sandpaper to the lightest.
- Once you’ve cleaned the floor, apply stain directly to the hardwood, and allow adequate time to dry.
- Apply a polyurethane finish with a paint roller.
- Add a second coat after waiting several hours for the first coat to dry.
