Quick and easy tips to restore floors without refinishing with Minwax

Learn quick and easy ways to restore shine and add a layer of protection to floors that have been scratched and scuffed with Minwax and Bruce Johnson on Las Vegas Morning Blend.

The first step is to clean your wood flooring. It is important to avoid using old home-cleaning remedies that include vinegar, hot, soapy water, or strange TSP concoctions because these actually do more damage than good. Using soap and water will damage your floors by letting water get down in between the boards, causing them to swell. Make sure you are using a product that is specifically designed for cleaning floors. To effectively clean your flooring, apply a small amount of hardwood floor cleaner, using a mop or rag to rub the solution in.

For scratched and scuffed floors, use Minwax Stain Marker. The stain marker has the stain built in and comes in a variety of popular colors. Simply choose a marker color to match your wood and apply to the scratched areas.

The final step is to apply Minwax Hardwood Floor Reviver. This will add a coat of protection to your floors and revive even high-traffic areas. Apply the water-based Floor Reviver with a painter's pad. This solution dries quickly and best of all it is fume-free.

If you spill candle wax on your floors, the first thing to remember is, don't wipe off the candle wax while it's still melted. Leave the wax on the floor and use an ice cube to freeze it. You want to make the wax hard and brittle so that it is easy to take off. Use an ordinary credit card to pop off the wax. Do not use a piece of metal, because this may scratch your floor.

There are many different tools you can buy to make restoring wood easy. Minwax offers a wonderful Hardwood Floor Care System that includes a padded mop for cleaning without leaning over. This is a very inexpensive solution compared to hiring a professional.
