How To Have Beautiful Shiny Hardwood Floors

Maintaining the shine and cleanliness of your hardwood flooring will take some extra effort on your part. This article will teach you how to maintain shine and cleanness for hardwood floors.

Make sure to clean your floor first. Always vacuum the entire floor as the first step. To Thoroughly clean the floor you have to move rugs, carpets and furniture. See to it that there are no nails, tacks or carpet staples on the floor. In other words, make sure the floor is cleared so you can easily refinish the surface.

Next, you need to apply sanding on your floor. With the use of heavy-grit sandpaper attached on the floor sander, run the machine all over the whole floor in straight or stroke direction. As long as the machine is running you have to keep it in motion. Next step is to use a lighter sand paper. Afterwards, vacuum the dust after sanding the floor.

An optional you can do is to stain the floor. This process will require you to vacuum the floor first as well before you do the staining. After cleaning, you can start applying some stain for about two or three coats. It is important that you dry the applied coat before applying another one.

Polyurethane will do well as a finish. Apply this substance on all over the floor with the use of a brush or roller in smooth, gentle strokes. The drying time for the polyurethane is 3 hours. But the drying time must be longer which may last up to 2 or 3 days before you put back all furniture and rugs on the floor.
