  • If you want to change the shade of your worn-out old polyurethane wood floor, but you don't want to sand it down to bare wood and re-stain it, there is an alternative.
  • ``Screen'' the floor with your floor polisher and roughest screening disc (60-grit), running the polisher back and forth with the direction of the floorboards and working your way across the room.
  • The floor should look flat, dull and clean.
  • Sand it very lightly, with quick, short strokes, just enough to buff the shine off the surface so the next coat of polyurethane will stick.
