  1. Shauna Bottos - How to Refinish Hardwood Floors Did you know it takes some elbow grease to refinish hardwood floors, it's worth it? According to Shauna Bottos, hardwood floors add value to your home and furnish a definitive look that goes with any class. Wash the Floor with a Hardwood Floor Cleaner Dispose of all the furniture and spray the floor with a hardwood flooring cleaner or your mixture of 10 parts water to 1 part white vinegar. According to Shauna Bottos Vancouver, a terry-cloth mop or towel wrapped around a mop head should be used to gently wipe the floor. Dust will accumulate in the room you're sanding if the windows and doors are closed. Prep the Perimeter If you cannot reach the nooks and crannies with the buffer, hand-sand them with 180-grit sandpaper. Working your way 4 to 6 inches out from the baseboard, rub over each board until the finish dulls and a powder forms.

  2. Refinishing hardwood shouldn't be done with sanding blocks because they might miss uneven parts of the floor. Scuff-sand the Floor Finishing Wear a dust mask while buffing the buffer with a maroon polishing pad. Overlap each course by 6 inches by moving the buffer from side to side across the floor. As you go, the old finish turns to powder, making it easy to see where you've covered. Keep the buffer moving at all times, but stop every 5 minutes or so to vacuum the pad. Vacuum and Tack Allow the powder to settle for 10 to 15 minutes. Utilize a felt-bottomed attachment to sweep the floor while using a clean filter in the vacuum. According to Shauna Bottos Vancouver, sweep across the strips of flooring to remove powder from between them. Finally, dry-tack the floor with a microfiber cloth pushed along the grain.

  3. Cut in Along the Edges You should wear booties over your shoes and a respirator with organic vapor canisters over your nose and mouth. According to Shauna Bottos, pour some of the strained finish into a small plastic container. Push the finish via a cone filter into a sterile plastic watering can, minus a sprinkler head.
