Can you sand a floor with a buffer?
Mastering a floor buffer is an essential skill for any wood flooring professional. Buffing, the final stage of the wood floor sanding sequence, is designed to create a surface fit for the final coating by flattening the floor and removing any imperfections left by the drum floor sander or belt floor sander and edger.
Should you mop a floor before buffing?
Use a broom or dust mop to remove any debris. Make sure you get the floor as clean as possible. Otherwise, you risk buffing dirt into the finish. Over time, buffing a dirty floor can permanently alter the color of your floor finish, turning it a dingy yellow color.
What color pad do you use to buff floors?

Do you buff a floor with it dry or wet?
Touch the floor to make sure it’s dry before you move on to buffing. Don’t try to buff a wet floor because you will be applying a buffing solution, which is also a liquid. If the floor is already wet, there will be too much liquid, which will make you need to change your buffing pad more often.
Can I buff a floor by hand?
You can buff your floors either by hand or with stand-behind machinery you can rent from a home improvement store. Either way, it’s important to thoroughly clean your floor before getting started. Otherwise, dirt or dust could get stuck in the polish.
