Maintaining the shine and cleanliness of your hardwood flooring will take some extra effort on your part. This page discusses how to maintain the cleanness and gloss of your hardwood flooring.

First step is to thoroughly clean the whole floor. You can do this by utilizing a vacuum to remove dirt and debris. You also need to remove rugs or small carpets as well as furniture. Check if there are nails, tacks or staples on the floor. Make sure that the floor is clean totally from dirt and debris.

Sanding is the next step to the job. The machine you are going to use will have a heavy-grit sandpaper on it and you have to make sure that you run the machine systematically as in clockwise or vice versa. As long as the machine is running you have to keep it in motion. Afterwards add a lighter sand paper. The sanding process will surely produce dust so make sure to vacuum afterwards.

Another option is to stain your floor. The surface must be applied with stain but before that you need to brush the floor using a broom or a vacuum. As soon as the floor is clean from debris and dirt you can start staining, let the coat dry first before adding another coat. It is important that you dry the applied coat before applying another one.

Afterwards finish it with polyurethane. Apply this substance on all over the floor with the use of a brush or roller in smooth, gentle strokes. The drying time for the polyurethane is 3 hours. The rugs and furnitures can be returned to their proper places after a drying time of three days.
