| How To Refurbish Worn Spots on Finished Hardwood Floors Posted: 28 Apr 2010 02:13 PM PDT Burn not your house to fright the mouse away. So goes a proverbial idiom.

Not only will a complete and comprehensive refurbishing take a long time; it will also cost you a hefty sum and a huge amount of labor (either yours or the hired professional's).
