How to Refinish Wood Floors

Refinishing wood floors is an excellent way to breathe new life into your home without the hefty cost of a full renovation. Whether your floors are scratched, dull, or just in need of a fresh look, this guide will walk you through the process of making them shine like new again.

Before you begin, remove all furniture and rugs from the room. Make sure to secure any loose floorboards and remove nails or staples that may damage your sanding equipment. Use plastic sheeting to seal off the area, preventing dust from spreading throughout your home. Once you have prepared your home, start with a coarse sandpaper to remove the old finish. Always sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid scratching! After the coarse grit, move to a finer grit to smooth out the surface. This step is crucial for achieving a uniform surface. Vacuum up all the dust meticulously. Any remaining particles can ruin the perfect finish you’re aiming for. After vacuuming, wipe down the floor with NOYATECH’s Luxury Vinyl Floor Cleaner to pick up any residual dust. 

Following these steps to refinish your wood floors can transform the appearance of your home. It’s a project that requires patience and attention to detail, but the results can be incredibly rewarding. With the right tools and techniques, you can achieve professional-quality results on your own.
