Everyone loves the results of a fantastic floor refinish - it’s like falling in love with your floors all over again. But the work that’s needed to get there might not be so loveable. When it comes to refinishing wood floors, dust is inevitable. What varies from contractor to contractor is how that dust is dealt with and contained.

Dealing with dust
When refinishing wood floors, a basic approach is to seal off each room as best as possible, to prevent dust escaping into other areas of your home. But, despite the best efforts, fine dust will always find a way to escape.

Getting rid of the dust produced in a refinishing job can take several days of repeated dusting - and that’s just for the dust you can see. Dust will find ways to get into your furniture (even closed cabinets), electronic devices, and, of course, your lungs. Dust can be a nuisance to clean, but it can also have negative effects on your health:

• Dust can trigger asthma attacks.
• Dust can cause allergic reactions such as coughing, wheezing, watery eyes and difficulty breathing.
• Dust can contain bacteria and fungi.
• Chemicals that were used in your floor finish can be released by sanding.
