How to Refinish Hardwood Floors
Hardwood floors tend to lose its looks and luster after years of wear and tear. However, it is possible to regain this luster of hardwood by refinishing hardwood floors. Though it is better to have your refinishing of hardwood floors done by a professional, it is possible to do it on your own.
You only need some basic supplies for refinishing hardwood floors like a ready strip deck stripper, plastic scraper, deck brush, auto brush and applicator. All of these supplies are easily available at any hardware store.
Start by sweeping floors clean
The first thing to do is to sweep and mop all floors clean. This done, you have to pour Ready Strip Deck Stripper into a paint tray. Then with the help of an auto brush, you have to apply the Stripper on the floor using dabbing and not brushing movements.
The stripper has to be left to work on the floor for about half an hour after which it has to be scrapped off the floor with a large, plastic scraper. Once most of the stripper is removed, a deck brush has to be used to remove leftover residue.
The floor then has to be left to dry after which a power sander is used to sand away imperfections. Then any dust on the floor has to be vacuumed off, after which stain and polyurethane has to be applied using a brush or applicator pad. This thus completes the process of refinishing hardwood floors.
