Revitalising Varnished Floor
Several of my floors have been sanded and varnished (commercially)
using a 2 pack lacquer .They are looking a bit dull now .I thought of waxing them but I think that will make them a bit slippery .Can anyone suggest what can be done other than getting them re-varnished ..?? Stuart |

Stuart Try buffing the varnish with a floor wax in a small area and see what it comes up like? and then do the whole floors with a hired buffer machine if that works out for ya. -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

Stuart What's wrong with re-varnishing them, especially if you don't fancy wax. I'd first wash the boards with a sugar soap solution, rubbed over with a well used stainless steel scourer to take any embedded grit off. -- Regards, Mike Halmarack Drop the (EGG) to email me. |
