Advice From The Experts

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

This entry is from Carolyn at Jerry’s Floor Store:

Is your wood floor looking dull, tired, and slightly scratched; but you would like to put off the floor refinishing for a bit longer?  Unsure which product will do the job but not damage your wood?  Bona, a leader in wood care, has a product that might be your answer.  Bona Refresh is a specially formulated water based urethane refresher for all unwaxed, polyurethane wood floors.  It dries in 1 hour.  Furniture can be replaced in 24 hours.  It restores a gloss and shine to polyurethane floors.  It will last for 6 to 12 months, depending on home traffic.  It fills in the small scratches and is easy to apply by the homeowner.   We advise that you use a special wool like applicator in order to get the best streak free finish.  A cautionary note is that where you are down past the poly finish to the bare wood, the refresh coat will not adhere.  Bona has excellent application instructions and is safe to use with pets and children in the house.   Refresh is non-toxic, water based and environmentally friendly.  It is Greenguard certified for indoor air quality. 

Floors that need more than just a touch-up to  look their best will probably require sanding and refinishing.  This can be a 3-5 day process requiring the family to spend a few nights away from home.  Why not combine the floor sanding project with an already scheduled summer vacation?   Jerry’s Floor Store will give you a complimentary estimate and reserve your refinishing appointment.  Jerry’s Floor Store has a full line of wood flooring, carpet, tile, natural stone, granite countertops, quartz countertops, and solid surface countertops.
