How to avoid the most common sanding mistakes
If you'd like to revitalise your hardwood flooring without having to replace it, then floor sanding and finishing with a different stain or varnish is a cost-effective option. It's also one of the most satisfying home improvement projects you can undertake, and doing it yourself will definitely save you money. But don't let that be a false economy - floor sanding and finishing is a demanding job and mistakes can be magnified into uneven and unsightly floors that can be worse than they were in the first place! Here's how to avoid the most common sanding mistakes and end up with great looking floors to be proud of.
Keep your sander moving at all times
If you've never undertaken a floor sanding project before, the drum sander can be an intimidating piece of equipment. You need a powerful tool to strip away the old finish but that can make it difficult to control and it's easy to run the sander in one place while you attempt to master it. Unfortunately, that's the easy way to end up with dips and swirls in your floor.
Take control by practising first on some scrap wood until you're comfortable and then making sure you keep moving once you're sanding your floor proper. Use the power of the sander to let it do the work for you as you move slowly and methodically around the room.
Be a clean freak
If you use dust free floor sanding equipment then you can expect well over 90% of the dust created to be sucked up by the machine. But however efficient the dust extraction is, you have to go the extra mile to make sure there's absolutely no dust and debris that can ruin the finish you're about to apply.
Give everywhere a good vacuum, including window sills and architraves, then vacuum again. Now take a clean tack cloth and pass it over the floor, and repeat. It's a long, slow and laborious process, but the more methodical you are, the less chance there is of getting stray dust in your polyurethane.
Let the finish cure
Always allow the polyurethane finish you apply to dry thoroughly before applying another coat - if you're unsure how long it needs, look at the instructions on the tin. This is important because using the floor before it's completely dry can cause lasting damage. In fact, just to be on the safe side, you should leave it a week after the polyurethane has dried before you walk on it or move furniture back in. However, your patience and hard work will be rewarded with a floor that has a professional quality finish designed to last.
