  1. 1

    Clean

    Put any furniture and carpets away from the floor.
    Next, it’s time to start cleaning the floor with Anza’s microfiber cloth that you moisten with detergent adapted for floors. If you have a sanding tool with a velcro plate, you can attach the cloth to it and use an extension pole to work more smoothly.
    Then let the floor dry.

    Sanding

    After you have cleaned your floor, it is time to sand the floor matte. When the floor has a duller surface, the paint adheres more easily. Attach a sanding paper to the sanding tool’s velcro plate and use an extension pole for a more ergonomic working position.

    Then wipe the sanding dust off the floor with the microfiber cloth. Remember to cover the moldings with masking tape or plastic wrap to avoid paint splashes on them.

    Varnish

    Now it’s time to paint. Use a brush near edges and hard-to-reach surfaces. Paint the rest of the floor with a roller or floor varnish brush. Remember to let the varnish dry properly before putting the furniture back. Enjoy a shiny floor.
