How Stripping the Old Finish?

/in /by


Buy a floor stripping solution suitable for your floor. Having determined what type of finish is on your floor by following the instructions for Preparing the Floor, buy a stripping solution that will remove that type. Also make sure the stripping solution is safe to use on hardwood, or whichever material your floor is made from.


If you can’t find a product that specifically matches the type of finish previously used on your floor, try out a “universal” floor stripping solution on a small corner of your floor to test it. Either vacuum or sweep your floor with a dust mop or broom. Remove all dust and debris from the area using a dust mop if you have one, or a broom if not. Put on clean footwear afterward to prevent further dust from getting on the floor.


Use safety gear. Chemicals in the solution can be dangerous to the skin or create toxic fumes. Work in a well ventilated area and protect yourself with gloves, long sleeves and pants. Use goggles and a respirator mask for large stripping jobs or poorly ventilated areas. The respirator mask should be labeled as an organic vapor blocker.


Line a bucket with a trash bag and fill with stripping solution. A heavy duty trash bag allows for easy cleanup and lets you use the bucket for other purposes later. Follow the instructions on the floor stripping solution to determine how much you need, and whether to dilute the solution with water. Have a mop ready.


The trash bag is especially essential for mop buckets, since you don’t want to later clean your floor with residual floor stripping solution. A “strip mop” is a specialized mop that will do a more effective job, but any mop will do. Fill a second bucket with clean water and a second mop. You don’t have much time to apply and remove the stripping solution, so it’s important to have a second mop handy for cleaning up. The first mop will be too saturated with stripping solution to use for cleaning purposes.

The choice of building materials is the key to the house decoration

Home decoration is a very costly event. No one really can guarantee that you will not buy the wrong thing in the decoration. It is as large as furniture, household appliances, all kinds of materials, and the hardware accessories of the path. My friend has such a painful energy, when decorating the bathroom, I bought the wrong floor tiles, and I found the toilet is slow to live in a few months, and it is also very serious and bitter.

Tiles design are an indispensable part of home decoration. There are various kinds and different spaces to choose different kinds. In modern society, the demand for marble tiles decoration are higher and higher, which makes manufacturers accelerate the pace of updating marble floor tiles. There are more styles of tiles on the market, and consumers are beginning to get confused. This Let us don’t know how to choose tiles.

The functional area of the family is generally divided into anhydrous and damp areas, so the demand for ceramic floor tiles is also different. Most families choose to use all glazed tiles to lay the living room and bedroom, and use rustic tiles to spread kitchen and bathroom. This is because the full body glazed tiles can remain bright for a long time, and is hard, wearable and beautiful enough for the living room bedroom. The cement tiles are more slippery and suitable for water in bathroom and kitchen.

The living room can be described as the highlight of decorating, and we need to consider carefully from quality to style. Sofa is the soul of the living room, the wrong choose on it will make the living room lose the soul. First of all, we should pay attention to the size and color of the sofa and the environmental problems. The size of the sofa should be determined according to the space size of the living room. The choice of furniture should be in accordance with the proportion of space. The total number of all furniture should not exceed 1/3 of the total living room space. Too much furniture will not only affect the appearance, but also make the whole space seem cramped. The sofa of small space should choose well, the length and height should be controlled well.

The color of the sofa should match the tone of the living room and other furniture. Light coloured lines do not match the unexpected dark colors. The quality of the sofa also should be paid attention to, the choice of too cheap sofa will not only allow the living room of the moment to reduce the style, but also poor quality material is not environmentally friendly, will harm the health of the family. Refrigerators should choose the right refrigerators or they will have more trouble later. If no one in the home is free to defrost the refrigerator often, or when you put the floor on the floor of the refrigerator, I suggest that you choose a cold refrigerator, even if it’s not easy to freeze, and don’t need to worry too much.

Small space house kitchen itself has little storage space, equipped with tableware, kitchenware, oil and salt, but also to install small kitchen treasure, and then a water purifier, it is too much of the place. If there is water demand, you can choose the desktop water purifier and put it in the living room and dining room. Cheap air purifier is better than no buy, psychological comfort is not necessary. Too cheap purifier for air purification can not play a role, can only satisfy your psychological comfort.

It’s best to choose a lower basin. There are three kinds of washbasins: wall-hung basin, pedestal basin and table basin. The tabletop basin is generally applicable to us. The table style is divided into two kinds: the platform basin and the lower basin. There are many styles and beautiful appearance on the stage, and they are also very fashionable. But the biggest drawback is that it’s not practical. Platform basin: with the strong table material (such as granite, artificial marble, etc.), the basin body is installed below the table, the naked eye from the table can not see the edge of the basin is called the lower basin. It is not recommended that you choose the pots on the stage, and the pots on the stage will take up more space. Moreover, the height of the basin is not convenient for us to wash our hair and wash our hair.
