Choose The Right Sanding Equipment

If you are not much experienced, you can try random orbital sanders. They might take a bit longer time to remove the old finishes, but are really perfect and do not require a lot of experience.

Work Carefully: You need to be very cautious while doing floor sanding and refinishing. Often it generates a large amount of dust and fumes. So, make sure you stock up on the dust masks and earplugs. Also when you start applying sealers or oil-based polyurethane, the NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirators, gloves and eye protection are must have.

Keep PatienceStart off with coarse-grit abrasives. It is definitely sufficient to remove the old finish. Don’t be aggressive; else you will end up damaging the flooring. You can proceed with abrasives to reach the desired degree of smoothness and move row by row.

Work in The Corners TooAt times, people forget those special corners of their home. Don’t repeat the same mistake! You can use a palm sander for the baseboard moldings; however, you need a sharp scraper to remove any areas of old finish. It allows you to work along board edges, like the butt joints.

SealWell, most of you might ignore this but it is really important. Especially, for the homes where floor takes stain unevenly. Apply the sealer evenly for a better finish.
