Well, let’s face the facts, polishing as well as the other flooring services are better performed by professionals 99% of the time and wood floor polishing also requires some skills and attention to detail. Bringing life and shine back into the picture is a matter of practice and the right tools and equipment.
Polishing starts with buffing the floor first to prepare it for the upcoming service. When it comes to wooden floors with a wax finish, then removing the old finish first is a good idea, so the re-application would work better. Wax is easy to remove with mineral spirit products, which have to be used with caution since they are not, particularly our idea for how a healthy indoor environment is achieved. Once the surface of the floor is completely clean and dry (ensure good ventilation, because the surface has to be completely dry), then you can continue with applying the new layer of wax, clean rags are usually used for that. Be sure to apply in small portions to achieve a uniform look. Once the wax is completely applied and once again – completely dry, you can buff the floor once again, since this is what gives its real and amazing shine!
