Another round of sweeping and vacuuming is then done, and a micro fiber pad is used to ensure that there is no contaminant in the site. A final coat is then applied; this is very important because it is done on the grain using color and pigment to suck the unwanted portions.

Before commencement of work, the professional assesses the floor to know how many coats are needed to restore its beauty. The process is always the same all through the only difference is the number of coats to be used on each particular floor. The final coat has to be dry well so that the floor can seal.
