Flooring Renovation

For wooden flooring, the method of restoration usually involves sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining.

For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
