Q. I just had my hard wood red oak floor refinished. It looks beautiful. The refinisher told never to use water on them to clean them. What do you recommend I clean them with? Also I live in the southwest, where it is very dry, how often do I polish or condition them and what do you recommend? THANKS in advance!
A. I have hardwood oak floor in kitchen and dinning area, I use white vinegar and water, yes water, but don't use a mop, I use a damp not wet sponge in the vinegar and water solution, it is a get down on you knees job, then I apply a coat of orange glo for hardwood floors really puts a shine on the floor. Depending on the traffic in the area where the floors are you can run a dust mop over the floors and sweep up any excess dirt, dust etc. I clean mine once a month and do the orange glo for hardwood as these areas of the house get alot of use. Make sure not to track in any stones in your shoes, we usually take our shoes off and put on slippers when we come in the house. You may want to get a humidifier since your area is dry.
How To Remove Scratch of a Refinished floors?
Q. I recently had my 50+ years old pine hardwood floors refinished with 3 coats of oil based. Looks really nice and shiny. Now I made a light/clear scratch from moving furniture and I can't get it off by using an eraser or water+soap. Any other ways to remove a simple clear scratch/scuff from the top coat? Thank you!
A. Try a little bleach, don't pour it directly on the floor, put some on a towel, or sponge and a little elbow grease.
What do I do to fix a hardwood floor after refinishing problem?
Q. We sanded our hardwood floor to refinish it. All of a sudden, the nails showed up - we couldn't really see them before sanding, now we have black nail heads on nice brown hardwood. How do we fix it so the nails don't show so drastically?
A. All you can do now is use a nail punch and counter sink the nails and then fill the holes with a putty. Use a putty you can stain by using some of the stain you used for the hardwood. Then just touch up with the same urethane.
