How to Restore a Wooden Floor
Note: If your wood floors are pre-finished, always consult the manufacturer for safety and other
key tips before attempting any of these procedures.
1] Prepare the room
Move all your furniture and all wall decorations out of the room.
Install a box fan or a standing fan within the room for ventilation and open all windows.
This is to blow away all the negative pressure and the dust out from the room.
If some furniture is still near or in the room, then cover it with some drop cloths or old bed sheets.
2] Shield the floor
Install an abrasive pad on the rubberized wheel of a floor polisher.
Practice a little bit in the center of the room until you are comfortable controlling the machine.
Install a 100-grit abrasive screen on the polisher and sand the floor.
Go back and forth across the floor in overlapping passes from one end of the room to the other.
Sweep and vacuum the floor. At this stage, the finish should be dull and wear patterns should no
longer be noticeable; any scratches and stains should be gone.
Repeat the sanding as necessary.
Using an electric sander, sand the perimeter. Use a rubber-sanding block with fine sandpaper or a
sanding sponge, sanding with the grain, for areas where your electric sander can't be used.
3] Remove all dust
Sweep, vacuum and clean the room (floors, walls, baseboards) to remove all the dust.
Use a soft cloth, slightly dampened with mineral spirits to wipe down the entire floor.
4] Apply the finish
For the final finish, use a professional-quality angled sash brush along the baseboard.
You can use a professional-quality varnish brush, 5 inches (13 cm) wide, to apply an even coat of
finish.
Tips:
For kitchen areas, place small, washable rugs in front of the stove, sink and refrigerator.
In this way, any spills won’t cause much damage your floor.
Remember to wipe up spills immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel. Use a slightly damp mop
or cloth, if necessary, but dry the floor immediately.
Keep dirt, especially gritty sand, out of the house. Choose exterior mats that are effective at
removing dirt from people’s shoes etc.
Set up a convenient place for people to slip off dirty or wet shoes to safeguard the floor.
Protect wooden floors from excessive sunlight, which can cause its color to fade away.
Install and frequently clean fabric glides on the legs of chairs, tables and other furniture.
Safety tips
Don't walk bare-foot on a sanded floor.
Wear a tight-fitting dust mask or respirator.
Follow all safety guidelines recommended by the manufacturer.
Keep the material/solvents away from children.
Wear gloves.

The above is an extract from the ebook Handywoman's Home Repairs.
The author, Gloria Rae, is a woman and she writes this ebook for women. Listen to what else she
has to say about being a handywoman.
Women and home repair can mix!
In fact, if you take away the heavy or super-awkward movements, women can do a whole lot of
fixing.
You can have fun and save money, too.
It feels good and powerful to be able to do things for yourself.
I started learning how to fix things at a very young age. It seemed that, if I ever wanted anything
done when I wanted it done, I had to do it myself. You know how long you can wait, don't you?
Years ago, I was pregnant. My kitchen sink was broken and my husband kept saying he was going
to fix it. So, I'd haul the dishes to the bathtub with a dishpan. My back ached as you well can
imagine. It was awkward and it made me angry.
But, I had been raised that women were to listen to their husbands.
Times have changed and so have I. After several months and me (with a new born daughter and a
three year old) doing dishes with the dishpan in the bathtub, my husband fixed the sink in fifteen
minutes.
It took him fifteen minutes to fix a sink that I could not use for five months! I was livid.
And so, my journey began. I not only learned the skills that I needed, but I made a small business
out of painting apartment buildings, created an income and became independent.
