How to Make Hardwood Floors Look Like New

Are your hardwood floors starting to look their age? Real hardwood floors are an elegant design element for any home. However, over time they can begin to lose their luster. Scuffs and scratches sometimes seem to appear on hardwood flooring out of nowhere. While some wear and tear adds a look and feel of character to wood floors, too much evidence of use can detract from the beauty of these floors.

Fortunately, there’s a new product that helps keep hardwood floors looking their best regardless of how frequently they are used. Minwax Hardwood Floor Reviver is a easy to use product that allows homeowners to restore the beauty and luster of their hardwood floors with a minimal amount of effort.

Minwax Hardwood Floor Reviver is a topcoat that brings back shine to dull floors and adds a protective layer to help prevent future damage. With this product, it’s easy to revive scuffed and scratched hardwood floors that have begun to dull as a result of daily use. You don’t have to sand the floors at all, and only a minimal amount of preparation is required.

To bring your floors back to life, simply sweep or vacuum the floor to remove loose dirt and wash the floor with a cleaning product designed especially for hardwood floors. Follow up cleaning by applying a thin layer of Minwax Hardwood Floor Reviver using a synthetic applicator pad and let dry for two hours. The water-based formula means the product dries quickly and doesn’t have a strong odor.  

According to Jacquelyn, Ferrara, the Director of Marketing for Minwax, “Reviver is an easy way to revitalize worn hardwood floors without undertaking a complete refinishing, making it a perfect and simple do-it-yourself project.” You can give your hardwood floors new life and keep them looking beautiful by reapplying every three to six months.
