Sometimes all your hardwood floors need to regain that gorgeous gleaming finish is a really good thorough cleaning.  Let’s take a look at some tips you can use to get your hardwood floors looking and feeling like new again:

There are surfaced sealed floors with are sealed with either a urethane, polyurethane or poly-acrylic finish.  Also, common finishes might include varnishes, lacquerers and even some floors may be unfinished or left untreated.
