If you are reading this just before you go about the buffing of your hardwood floor then you need to sit down for a minute. You cannot go forward with the buffing until you have done the sanding with the drum sander. At least not if you are planning to refinish your floor. The buffing is the step after the sanding not before it. In fact there are a couple of other things that you need to do first as well.

I have known many people that skipped some of the steps to refinishing a floor and they have all lived to regret it. It may take more time and hard work but you need to get the floor done the right way. If you don't then you are going to find yourself back where you are now much, much sooner.

So, what needs to be done you ask? Here's the list:

First: sand with the drum sander

This is the first step to refinishing a hardwood floor. This will get most of the old finish off and give you a better surface to work with for the rest of the job. This will also help you get rid of any stains that have soaked through the old finish.

Second: edge sander

Now you can start using the edge sander. This is a powerful machine even though it is small. It is also a very necessary one. This will help you to get in all of those places that the drum sander could not get into. These places being the very edge of the wall where the floor connects as well as the edges of the room.

Third: give a good vacuum

The entire room needs to be gone over with a good strong vacuum. This means that you have to get right down on the floor and make sure that as much of the dust is gone as possible. Check the corners and edges carefully because the dust is going to want to settle in there for sure. And don't forget the walls and the ceiling either. They need to be done too because whatever is stuck to them can simply fall down onto the floor.

Fourth: use the hardwood floor buffer

Now you can use the hardwood buffer on your flooring. This is going to be the final step before you put on the finish. Use 100-120 grit on it and you will be set, just remember that you need to go with the grain when you are buffing if you want to get the best results.
