The Easy Way To Refinish Wood And Laminate Flooring

Few things add more style and elegance to your home than hardwood or laminate floors. They add a classic warmth and beauty that can't be duplicated with carpeting or other flooring options. However, even with normal wear and tear, wood and laminate floors can lose their original luster, leaving them looking dull and worn.

But don't despair. You don't have to hire a professional-or rent a floor sander-to renew your floors to their original beauty. With new technologies, such as Varathane® Renewal® No-Sanding Floor Refinishing Kit, it's easy to restore previously finished hardwood, factory-finished floors without the dust, special skills or equipment associated with sanding. Now, for the first time, you can even renew your popular laminate flooring with a fresh coat of polyurethane finish. And, to make the project even easier, the Varathane Renewal No-Sanding Floor Refinishing Kit contains all the materials you'll need to refinish a 15' x 15' room in just one day, including a step-by-step instructional DVD. Just follow these three easy steps:

Step 1: Clean and abrade the floor. Apply Renewal No-Sanding Cleaner to the floor with a scrubbing pad. The cleaner replaces hours of work as it chemically cleans and abrades the existing floor finish without sanding-eliminating the dust present on traditional floor-refinishing jobs.

Step 2: Rinse. Rinse the cleaner with soap and water to condition the abraded floor and permanently lock down the new finish.

Step 3: Apply the new finish. Apply Renewal Water-Based Floor Finish to create a beautiful, long-lasting semi-gloss finish that won't change or alter the color of your floor, or yellow over time. The clear, polyurethane finish is formulated with patented aluminum-oxide nano technology for ultimate scuff and scratch resistance. It dries quickly, so floors are ready for light use in just eight hours. And cleanup is soap-and-water easy!
