Refinishing Wood Floors
Refinishing your hardwood flooring isn’t as complicated as homeowners might think. Some prefer calling on experts to refinish their flooring, while others prefer handling the task on their own. Home furnishings experience wear and tear over time. Hardwood flooring will get dull or scratched over time. Wood flooring is different from some other flooring types as it can be refinished again and again, up to 10 times. It all depends on the thickness of the veneer. There is no definite answer on which method is best for restoring flooring. It just depends on a homeowner’s needs. There are those who love doing it themselves, while others prefer contacting professionals to refinish their flooring for them.
Top ways of renewing old hardwood floors
- Ask yourself if your floor is dull because of dirt gathering- Dirt is one of the leading factors for floor wear and tear. Some homeowners don’t have time to clean their floors regularly. Cleaning regularly is one of the techniques that can be used to restore your flooring. Homeowners should prevent dirt from accumulating on their floors.
- A good deep cleaning– Has your hardwood flooring started looking old? If so, you should consider having your flooring deep-cleaned. Deep cleaning is a simple process. It starts off by sweeping the floor using a soft broom. This helps clear loose dirt and identify areas that really need deep cleaning. The nest step includes using a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt from hard to reach places. After that, the homeowner should use cleaning detergents meant specifically for hardwood flooring. Homeowners with hardwood flooring should try to clean their flooring using a vacuum cleaner at least twice a week. Also, they should hire a professional to clean at least once a year.
