I received a call from a familiar client who needed my assistance in finding a solution for their new home. They had opted for engineered hardwood flooring, but due to the constant foot traffic from their children and their large puppy, a cane corso, they were concerned about the condition of their floors. They wanted to explore options to uplift and protect their hardwood flooring.
Upon my initial inspection, I quickly realized that their daily routine was indeed taking a toll on the floors, but the main culprit was the use of polishes like mopnglo to "revitalize" their flooring. In reality, all these polishes were doing was creating layers of acrylic on the floor, which gradually made the surface appear dull and scratched. I explained to them that I could restore their floors by removing the wax and applying a thick coat of water-based polyurethane, which would provide better protection in the long run. Aside from the inevitable dings and scratches caused by their energetic cane corso, the floor cleaned up beautifully. The fresh coat of polyurethane not only enhanced the floor's durability but also gave it a consistent sheen that they could be proud of, without any embarrassment. |
