Refinishing Your Hardwood Without Sanding
The hardwood floors in your rental property take a beating. Between tenant turnover (moved furniture), general wear and tear, and the presence of pets (if you allow them), it’s likely that after a few years of tenants, your once-sparkling floors are far from pristine and could probably use a touch-up. Here are 3 easy hardwood refinishing tips for your hardwood flooring without sanding.
Clean and Clear the Room
Make sure the floor is clear of any furniture. If the tenant moved out, hopefully, that’s the case. Be sure to remove any partial furnishings or fixtures you provide that would get in the way of the floor (e.g. floor-length curtains, built-in shelves, etc.). Even if the tenant left belongings behind, follow the proper procedure to clear the space of their things. Also, take the doors off the hinges.
Apply the Liquid Abrasive and Scrub the Floor
Using the abrasive pad included in the kit, scrub the liquid with the grain of the floor. You will have to attach the pad to the block and then screw in your own broom handle. If you don’t have a broom handle, you can do this on your knees — just be sure to wear protective clothing you don’t mind ruining.
Clean the Floor Again
Mix two tablespoons of dishwashing liquid into a gallon of warm water. Dampen mop to clean the floor neutralize the etcher and clean up any remaining residue. Make sure the mop is only lightly damp so as not to cause any water damage to the floor. Mop in small sections and clean up puddles as they form. Wear shoe covers to keep the floor clean and free of any dust or particles. Then wait another 30 minutes for the floor to dry.
