Question:

My Mom wants to put another coat of varnish on her hard wood flooring. What should she clean it with first? Will this work or does the floor need to be re-sanded? The floor has beveled grooves between the boards. She was told by the contractor that she could just clean the floor with water and apply vanish.

Answer:

She'll have to do a bit more than that. She'll have to read the instructions on the varnish can to learn the proper preparation method before applying it.
