Here are the steps to refinish hardwood floors:
1. Clear the room as much as possible.
2. Vacuum the floors with a Shop-Vac, and remove remaining debris with a mop, allowing the floors to fully dry before moving on to the next steps.
3. Seal air vent covers to keep out sanding dust.
4. Seal doors with plastic sheeting.
5. Remove moldings, floor boards, and anything else attached to the floor.
6. Rough-sand the floor using a drum sander.
7. Sand edges and corners using an edge sander.
8. Sand the floor again using a finer grit sandpaper.
9. Vacuum and tack the floor.
10. Apply stain (optional).
11. Apply polyurethane.
