Hi All,

What would be the best way to clean wooden flooring and polish/shine it up again. The property has had maintenence done and there is paint, plaster and lots of dust on it.

What cleaning/polishing solutions do i need.

Cheers

With out strippng it you need to know what was used last time ie has the floor been waxed ?

Hi BDCS - How would i find out what was used last time on the floor, the property owner is new and dont think they know?? Any kind of test?

With regards to stripping the floor, how would i do this (what equipment do i need and where could i get it).

Cheers

If a floor has been waxed you can only continue with wax unless you sand it right back to bare timber and start again. Then you can seal it with what ever you wish and use your prefered polish. I am no expert but on the floor that I look after I use a hard wax which I apply with a window cleaning applicator and then buff with a white pad on my fast rotary. There's a firm at Ashford in Kent called wood u like that are very helpfull

Any one reconmend a good training course (not too indepth to start) and any website with some basic info regarding the cleaning of flooring (hard floors/wooden).

Cheers
