What is the best way to protect my newly sanded floor?
If you have just had your hardwood floors refinished, they will need to cure for about 20 to 30 days. During this time, you do not want to place rugs, furniture, or anything else on the floor. The reason is that exposed areas of the floor will lighten, meaning if rugs or furniture were placed on the floor, they would not lighten the same degree, giving you a mismatched floor.
