Livening Up Sanded Floor

May 13, 2004 3 Replies

My living room had the pine floorboards sanded and varnished a while back and they are looking in need of rejuvenating . I need a suggestion as to what to use that will brighten them up but not make them slippy .Wax maybe ??? Any ideas welcome -shops,sheds or,preferably on-line supliers Stuart


If theyre clean, dont use anyting on them. Pine colours naturally with age, and really looks good if you give it a couple of years. If you muck about with it it'll never look good, and youll be wasting your time anyway.

The floor is pretty clean -it's just that it has lost its initial sparkle when it was varnished a year or so ago. It is a satin finish anyway but i thought something might bring it up a bit to nearer the way it was when first done . Stuart

Two pack Rustins floor varnish is genuinely "clear", totally waterproof, and virtually indestructible. You should only need a very thin coat if there's already a finish on there.
