Refinishing vs. Polishing

This is the process of sanding floors down all the way to the point of being able to apply an entirely new surface finish. On the other hand, polishing your floors is a much less complicated and less expensive alternative to recover the shine and help to remove any imperfections. It also will help to extend the life of your hardwood flooring.

Be sure the polish compliments the finish.

It is important to note that polishing your floors will depend on the finish. A hardwood floor with a protective surface such as urethane would definitely appreciate a good polish. But a floor that requires a more penetrating finish like tung oil would require a wax coating instead of a polish.
