Can I make a wood floor look better without using a sanding machine?

[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 296991, member: 1233"] Step gave good advice. Look for a commercial stripper that is ecologically safe. 3M used to have one called safest strip. It was slower than the others, but it did not have any fumes and did not hurt you if you got it on your skin. To make it work best, coat the area with stripper and then put plastic over it. Saran wrap is good for furniture. but to cover the floor in plastic go to the paint store and get the really thin cheap plastic drop cloths. Use those to cover the floor. [url]http://www.franmar.com/[/url] Franmar makes environmentally safe cleaners and strippers. They do not burn if you get it on your skin. They work faster than the harsh strippers, and the harsh ones burn if you accidentally get it on your hands. There are no fumes with this and it is safe around pets. I saw a display of this at a home show and it was amazing. A furniture repair/refinish man that I know used it to build a table out of reclaimed wood. It was far less labor to get the varnish and paint used on some of the wood. We refinished floors in our first home. It was almost the end of my marriage. I will NEVER do that again myself. I might lay the new wood floors, but not refinishing floors. Good luck on your project! [/QUOTE]
