Is
It Time To Refinish Your Hardwood Floor?
The first
thing to do is to determine whether the finish is worn off or
just dirty. Go to a high-traffic area, where the finish will be
most worn, and pour a tablespoon or two of water onto the floor.
- If the
water forms beads, congratulations! Your floor is properly sealed.
Perhaps it needs only some cleaning and stain removal.
- If the
water takes a few minutes to soak in, only darkening the floor
slightly, the finish is partially worn. Proceed with caution.
- If the
water soaks right in, leaving a dark spot, the finish is seriously
worn and it's probably time to recoat or refinish.
