By Zelma Hurley


Your floors are looking bad. You have had them for years and you enjoy the look of the natural wood, yet it is time to do something about them. You keep them clean and you have tried to wax them several times, but nothing seems to work. It may be time to begin the process of hardwood floor refinishing Cambridge MN commercial firms can do for you.

This is something that can be a do it yourself project if you a have a lot of patience. It requires some specific items of equipment and, if instructions are followed carefully, this should not present a large problem. All of the equipment can be rented and some smaller tools can be purchased.

In Cambridge, MN, there are a number of companies who have the equipment, training and experience to deal with the detail necessary for a beautifully refinished floor. Whether you have a natural, virgin wood or one of the engineered wooden ones, they will come and take a good inspection at what you have and make those important suggestions. This is the best first step and then they can get down to work.

The inspection that these experts will conduct will be done to see a few things. They, and you, will want to know what the thickness of the wood is. This may have thinned out because of the previous sanding that has been done and might preclude a sanding now. They will also look for the condition of those scratches or other imperfections they will need to remove.

The reason it is to be sanded is because any wax or preservative must be removed. The process of sanding also removes dents, scratches and any grooves that are in the surface. It also levels all of the high spots so a solid, level flooring can be achieved. It then presents a smooth surface for the next process which is the application of a sealant and or wax.

The sanding, which will take several different sanding grits, starting with a very rough one and descending through finer and finer ones, will generate a lot of sawdust. This, and any debris as well as dirt must then be picked up and removed. The experts will use a vacuum cleaner to get it all and then follow up with a special cloth to capture it all. If not removed, it will interfere with the application of the wax.

There are many wood floors in Cambridge, MN and the firms who offer this service are kept fairly busy. The two, three or even four coats of wax are applied, one at a time, with about 12 to 24 hours between each application. This makes each floor, across the city, shine like they were newly installed.

When your flooring begins to look bad or simply not as shiny as it used to look, call one of these professionals or go and rent a floor sander and a lambs wool applicator. Whether it is a do it yourself project, or a call to the experts, which is recommended, this is the way to refurbish your floors and make them shine again.
