Chemical Stripping Hardwood Floors. Refers to the intentional scratching, scraping and/or gouging of a solid hardwood flooring. The type of stripper you use should depend on what you want to accomplish and how you want to accomplish it.
Harsh chemicals can stain and strip the wood of its natural grain.
How to choose your hardwood floor. The hardwood floor refinishing process is easier and less expensive than sanding down to bare wood and takes less time. Since my hardwood floors have always looked great after using the bona cleaner on them (bona is environmentally friendly, by the way), i've never thoroughly researched the many consumers have had problems with steam mops where they strip new hardwood floors right down to the bare wood. We are getting laminate flooring installed but have a raised entry that's small the reason we are not removing hardwood is because there will be a huge gap i was hoping to find a chemical remover that would basically do the removing instead of sanding, but sanding this small space may be easier.
