it to the owners attention. It
was discovered that the client
was being charged a higher

consistently. Mary negotiated
a lower fee on behalf of her

(NAPSI)While
often
overlooked, your floors are
your homes greatest canvas
and one of its true untapped
features. Replacing your
hardwood floors can be
expensive and time consuming, but refinishing them will
not only restore the richness
and elegance of the wood to a
beautiful appearance, it will
also protect it from everyday
wear and add value to your
home.
To ensure that your floor
finishing is a success,
consider these tips from
Minwax spokesperson and
wood finishing expert, Bruce
Johnson:
Test it First: Always test
any stain you are considering
on an inconspicuous spot,
such as in a closet. All woods
react differently to stain, so
what you see on a sample in
the store or online may not be
the same as how your wood
accepts and responds to the
stain you apply.
Sand Away: Dont skimp
on the sanding before you
stain. Stains depend on open
pores for adequate absorption and only by sanding off
any old finish can the pores
be opened to receive your
new coat of stain. Never sand
after you apply your stain.
Brush it Off: Dust is the
enemy of a smooth finish. To
remove all the sanding dust
(NAPSI)Sometimes, all
it takes to make a big difference in the look and feel of
your home are a couple of
minor updates. By picking
the right pieces to refresh
and choosing colors that
make a statement, smaller
projects can end up making a
lasting impact.
An Unexpected Pop of
Color. Make any room come
to life in an unpredictable
way by adding a bright color
to an ordinary piece of furniture. Minwax Water Based
Wood Stain is the perfect
not be as noticeable as a
change in color created by
stopping in the middle of a
board.
Give it Time: Do not apply
your first coat of clear
protective finish until the
stain is completely dry. If a
clear finish is applied over a
wet stain, the stain will be
pulled back out of the pores
of the wood and will mix
with the finish, creating a
muddy effect. Or worse,
your protective finish may
not adhere to the floor. You
should allow 24 hours for
your stain to dry before
applying the finish.
Protect Your Floor: Stain
adds color to wood but will
not protect your floor from
foot traffic, spills and everyday wear. For the best results,
apply Minwax Ultimate
Floor Finish, a technologically advanced topcoat for
floors that provides a crystal
clear finish with superior
durability. It dries in just two
hours, and cleans up with
soap and water. Minwax
Ultimate Floor Finish is
certified to GREENGUARD
standards for low chemical
emission into indoor air
during product usage.
