Do you have to sand a completely bare varnished floor down to bare wood or can you simply refresh it?

After several years of use, a varnished floor may show signs of wear and tear due to daily foot traffic. If necessary maintenance steps are not taken, the bare wood will eventually be exposed, requiring a complete refinish. To avoid this, it is possible to apply a coat of quality varnish to maintain the protective coat in place. Bona Traffic HD varnish is particularly recommended for restoring the floor's beauty and abrasion resistance for years to come.

To ensure the best results, it is important to thoroughly clean the floor using the Bona Pro Series hardwood floor cleaner. Then, sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper to optimize the adhesion of the Traffic HD varnish. Before applying the varnish, it is essential to thoroughly dust the floor and clean it with a mixture of water and Denatured Alcohol in a 1:1 ratio. Then, simply follow the instructions on the product label to apply the varnish. All of these steps can be completed in a single day.
