The durable, long-lasting surface and good looks of a hardwood floor make it one of the most popular features in a home. However, it can become an eyesore when the wood develops surface scratches or loses its sheen. That’s when you can revive, instead of the more complicated job of refinishing, the floor surface. The Hardwood Floor Reviver by Minwax is a sandless system that eliminates the sanding process, making it less of a mess and ordeal. This is not designed for damaged floors or those with a worn away finish.

To restore the finish of a hardwood floor with a sandless system is the easy part, removing rugs and furnishings in the room will be the most daunting task of the project. When the room is empty the job begins with a thorough cleaning of the floor with a vacuum. Then apply the cleaner with a new painter’s pad on a pole to create a receptive surface that bonds the underlying finish to the new topcoat.
