It's good to keep our flooring installers working but do keep in mind re-finishing your hardwood flooring (and I'm not talking about waxing) more than once A YEAR is overkill to an extreme!!!
Feel free to wax and buff 'til you can't anymore but even this can be overkill and pointless after about once every few months and keep in mind this is on non-finished hardwoods <<<< for the finished wood, waxing more than once every 8 to 12 month and again that's with a ton of traffic!!!
For the norm home owner DOING ANYTHING BUT NORM CLEANING on your finished hardwood floor is really pointless.. doing nothing more than taking off the FINISH YOU JUST PAID FOR.
YOU, THE CONSUMER should have an expert give some hints. Before doing anything to your floor, take one of the boxes the flooring came in and read up on use, care, and cleaning. The maker of your type of flooring still covers under the warranty on your flooring.
Doing somthing like stripping your floor may void your manfacturers warranty and if anything goes wrong with your floor, you're not covered,
So the bottom line is - if you're an installer make sure you know what you're doing and what you're telling the customer.
If you're the consumer, better to read up, and ask your installer.
Or if you're doing it yourself, ask the store where you got the flooring about maintenance and overall use.'
