It is an incredibly simple DIY project. No special equipment is needed. Simply remove furniture and rugs, then sweep, vacuum or dust mop your floor, and give it a wet cleaning with QUICK SHINE -by Holloway House. squirt onto the floor, spread it with a dry mop and allow it to dry.

I would clean it good with Bona wood floor cleaner then put a coat of Bona polyurethane on it. It will seal the floor.

You do not want to get a build up of wax or polish on it. It would need to be sanded to get those off. I have had my floors 26 years now and still look like when they were put in.

I Bona to clean them with a damp rag not wet.

You do not want wood floors to be wet. I use a dry soft rag to dry them after the damp washing.

I am 60 now so am a bit slower so I have a fan running on low or med to make sure it drys fast. By the time I get to drying some places it is dry already so I buff it with the dry rag.

I have 3/4 inch red oak in the living room, 3 bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and office. I love it.

I have hardwood floors and after so much traffic and so many years they get really dull looking. I found this product in home depot called Rejeuvinate which brings back the shine so beautifully. And is not slippery. I am a true believer in this product, it even works well on time floors..

Yes, Rejeuvinate is highly recommended.

Hi Lane, I called my floor guy to see if there was a different way to finish them and he called back today.

He said you could use a varnish to seal them but that it would not do a very good job for long. It wears off.

You do need to seal wood floors unless you never plan on getting it wet I suppose? I have always sealed any thing wood.

My floor is not slippery. I suppose if you ran with socks on it could be. I go up and down the stairs to the basement a few times a day with no problem. I do walk though. Summer time I am barefoot usually and winter time I wear slippers with a gripe thing on the bottom of them.

If you call a paint/stain store they could give you their opinion.
