While a small hand sander or orbital sander can be useful for preparation, if you have a large space with previously painted or stained floorboards, you'll likely need to hire a drum sander for sanding floorboards properly. After you have finished preparing your floorboards you need to think about draughts. If you can live with the draught that comes up between the gaps in your floorboards then leave. But it makes much more sense to seal the gap to stop cold draughts and keep your heating bills down. One simple way to extend the lifespan of your painted floor is to make sure that the floorboards are prepped properly. The more time spent on this part of the process the better the end product will be. Now vacuum the floor to get rid of as much dust and debris as possible. The final part of the prep is to clean the floorboards. Use a mop and liquid detergent (as instructed). Then rinse with the mop and clean warm water and leave to dry for at least 24 hours. Use a primer or specialist paint to cover any knots or stains.

Clean Up: Remove as much product as possible from applicationequipment before washing with water. Do not empty into drains orwater courses. Some local authorities have special facilities for thedisposal of waste coatings.This will depend on a number of factors including how well the floorboards were prepped, what paint was used and how much traffic the floor can expect. But a rough estimation is around two years. Free sachet delivery is available on all Rust-Oleum sachets. These are shipped direct from the manufacturer using Whistl. Can take 5-10 working days.
