The infographic “Hard wood Floor Refinishing — Do it Yourself!” from PoshFloors offers a visual, step‑by‑step guide to restoring hardwood flooring without needing a professional. It begins by helping you evaluate whether your floor needs a simple recoat or a full refinish—by testing areas with heavy wear and spots exposed to cleaning agents to see if the finish will adhere properly.

 

Once you decide on refinishing, the infographic walks you through the key stages: prepping the room; removing old finish and carefully sanding; repairing damaged areas; applying stain or finish; and finally sealing the floor. It emphasizes using proper tools (buffers, sanders, edge sanders) and following a progressive grit sequence to avoid damaging the wood. The guide also stresses the importance of a clean, dust‑free environment before applying the final coating to ensure smooth adhesion and appearance.

 

Visually, the infographic employs clear icons, numbered steps, and concise annotations, making it easy to follow even for beginners. It strikes a balance: giving enough technical detail to help you do a quality job, while keeping complexity manageable for a DIYer. Overall, it’s a practical, user-friendly roadmap for transforming worn wood floors back to their original luster.
