There reaches a point during the life of a home where the hardwood floors stop looking as good as they used to. The floor hasn’t reached the point where it needs to be sanded or replaced, but it has lost a bit of its charm. Luckily, there are a few things that you can do as a homeowner to fix this issue. Flawless Floors has some tips on how to make hardwood floors look new without refinishing.

How to Make Hardwood Floors Look New Without Refinishing Them

One of the best things about all three processes is that if you have a full day to work with, your project will be done on that day. We know your time is valuable and finite, so let’s get into each method in order of speed and convenience.

Revitalizer 

Using a revitalizer is the quickest and most cost effective way to make your hardwood floors look new without refinishing. There are several revitalizers on the market that you can choose from, but all of them will require your floor to be fully clean in order to work properly. We recommend using a microfiber rag and then mopping your floor to ensure that no mess remains.

Liquid Sanding

One of the best things about all this process is that if you have a full day to work with, your project will be done on that day. First, you will need to remove all furniture from the room. Next, you will need to clean your floor to the best of your ability. Then, apply your liquid sander to the floor and spread it evenly. You need to make sure that you do not leave the sander on for too long, so set a timer. Use a mop and dish detergent to to clean up the sander, and then apply the new finish.

Buffing and Recoating

If you would like a more long-term solution, you may want to consider employing a buffer and a chemical abrasion kit. For this project, you will need to move all of your furniture out of the room, as well as rent a quality buffer. These rentals are not cheap, so do your research and make sure that you are getting a good price.
