Did you know that more homeowners choose to refinish their wood floors in the spring or summer over any other season? It’s a great time of the year to renovate your home, but just like any other project safety is key! Before you get your hands dirty and dive into the project, see below for a few precautionary tips.
Gather Safety Equipment First
Don’t wait until you get injured to look around for safety equipment. Before you begin the job, make sure you have safety goggles, gloves, knee pads and any other items you might need.
Take Breaks
Refinishing your wood floors can take some time. It’s important to take breaks not only for your own health, but to give your machines and tools a rest. Drum sanders can get very hot if used for long periods of time and an overheated machine can damage your floors.
Keep Your Workspace Clean
Not using a certain tool or piece of material? Move it out of the way to a safe place. You and your family members are less likely to trip and you can get your work done more quickly when there is nothing in the way.
