What You'll Need
What You'll Need
- Vacuum machine
- Primer
- Paint
- A paint brush
- Polyurethane finish
Step 1 – Cleaning the Floor
Use your vacuum to remove any surface dirt and dust from the floor. Fill a bucket with warm water. Add some liquid detergent to the water. Mix the soap into the water. Immerse a sponge into the warm, soapy water. Squeeze out any excess liquid. Use the sponge to wash the floors. Allow the floors enough time to dry.
Step 2 – Applying the Primer
Use your paint brush to apply the primer to the floor. Begin in one corner of the room and work your way back to an exit. Be sure to use long, even strokes. Apply the primer in one direction. Allow the primer to dry thoroughly.
Step 3 – Applying the Paint
Use your paint brush to apply the paint over the primer. Begin in the same corner you used to start applying the primer. Apply the paint in long, even strokes, always working in the same direction. Allow the paint to dry completely. Apply a second coat of paint and allow it to dry. Apply a polyurethane finish over the paint.
