When your hardwood floors need to be refinished, the traditional method is to sand the surface down. This method produces a large quantity of sawdust that can be messy and cause respiratory irritation. To avoid these problems, ask your refinishing company for dustless sanding, which uses specially formulated chemicals to etch the wood’s surface instead. This approach has a number of benefits, detailed below.

Why Choose Dust-Free Refinishing?

1. Speed

Dustless sanding is a quick process and can be finished in a day. This means you won't have to leave your home overnight like with traditional refinishing. Instead, just take your family out for one day, and you'll come home to a finished new floor in a clean living space.

2. Price

Because it’s less labor-intensive, dustless sanding costs less than refinishing floors the old-fashioned way. While you'll still need to pay for materials and any spot repairs needed on more damaged areas, the bill will be lower overall.

3. Cleanliness

Sawdust from traditional refinishing gets everywhere, and even if your contractors clean up thoroughly after themselves, you'll breathe the particles in the air for a while. This is bad for those with allergies or sensitive respiratory systems — not to mention how much more cleaning and dusting you'll have to do in the next few days. Dustless sanding minimizes this effect. The only sawdust will be from spot repairs — a much smaller amount than you'd get from the entire floor.
