2. Choose The Right Sanding
Equipment
If you are not much experienced, you can try random
orbital sanders. They might take a bit longer time to
remove the old finishes, but are really perfect and do not
require a lot of experience.

3. Work Carefully:
You need to be very cautious while doing floor sanding
and refinishing. Often it generates a large amount of dust
and fumes. So, make sure you stock up on the dust
masks and earplugs. Also when you start applying
sealers or oil-based polyurethane, the NIOSH-approved
organic vapor respirators, gloves and eye protection are
must have.

4. Keep Patience
Start off with coarse-grit abrasives. It is definitely
sufficient to remove the old finish. Don’t be aggressive;
else you will end up damaging the flooring. You can
proceed with abrasives to reach the desired degree of
smoothness and move row by row.

5. Work in The Corners Too
At times, people forget those special corners of their
home. Don’t repeat the same mistake! You can use a
palm sander for the baseboard moldings; however, you
need a sharp scraper to remove any areas of old finish. It
allows you to work along board edges, like the butt joints.

6. Seal
Well, most of you might ignore this but it is really
important. Especially, for the homes where floor takes
stain unevenly. Apply the sealer evenly for a better finish.
