Get matched with top floor polishers in Sewanee, TN

Q: What if the floor has only lost its luster and not been damaged or blemished?

• <div><p>Before starting on a full refinishing project, determine if your floors need to be completely sanded down to the bare wood or if the damage is shallow and mostly cosmetic. Deep scratches and gouges will require you to rough sand using a drum sander or belt sander, but small surface scratches or floors that have only lost their luster don&rsquo;t need a complete overhaul. Instead, you can skip the rough sanding step and sand-screen the old finish with a buffer, removing only the top layer of polyurethane.</p></div>

Q: Does a magic eraser remove candle wax?

• <div><p>Yes, a magic eraser can remove candle wax. You can use it to remove all the candle wax from start to finish. Another option is to remove all large clumps with a dull knife and then pull out your magic eraser to finish the job. However, while the results can be impressive, a magic eraser shouldn&rsquo;t be used on all surfaces since it can potentially damage them. If you try this method, test a small, hidden spot first and proceed cautiously.</p></div>

Q: Do vinegar and water strip wax?

• <div><p>Yes, vinegar and water can strip wax. For a DIY wax stripper, mix about a quarter cup of vinegar with one gallon of warm water. You can also mix one cup of cream of tartar, one cup of white vinegar, and one gallon of water. Before using it on a large area of the floor, you should test it in an inconspicuous place to make sure it works like you want it to.</p></div>

Q: How long does cleaning and polishing take?

• <div><p>Services typically take 2-4 hours, depending on the area size and floor material.</p></div>

Q: What cleaners should not be used for vinyl floors?

• <div><p>You can embrace minimalism when it comes to cleaning vinyl plank flooring. Water or diluted vinegar both work great for mopping and are much better options than some other cleaners that can damage the protective coating on these floors. Ammonia or solvent-based polishes can both break down the top layer. Also, avoid &ldquo;mop-and-shine&rdquo; cleaners, which tend to leave behind residue on vinyl plank floors.</p></div>

"Andy has done quite a lot for me at my home. On this occasion he came in and took out sink/vanities in both my bathrooms complete with facets and put in new. He painted both bathrooms. He installed two new cabinets above my toilets for more storage, and installed two mirrored cabinets above the vanities. I never felt that I needed to keep on him. He worked the whole time he was here and did an excellent job. I have had him here to my home several times for inside & outside work. I foresee him coming back in the very near future."
