Maple floors are strong and last a long time. If this is the case, they tend to lose their luster over time, which is why you need to restore them. To restore them you need to do the following:
Instructions for post-processing the maple floor:
You should start by examining the floor and figuring out if it needs repairs or a complete redo. If a repair is necessary, you should use protective flooring that is suitable for maple floors.
You should start by evaluating furniture and tapestries, and then fill in all the gaps at the end of the boards. Also fill in the cracks in the floor surface. Floor putty is best. You should allow the putty to dry completely and then vacuum and vacuum the floor.
Close the space with plastic or fabric covering material. You can use the fabric to cover the entrance area and the heat and ventilation openings.
You can then sand the floors with a drum sander and coarse-grain sandpaper. If the floor has no sag, you can walk with the grain; However, if the floor has curved sections, you should pay attention to the grain. One should move at a constant speed and make sure that the grinder does not drift off in one segment.
You should sand the entire floor including the edges of the room. When you are finished sanding, you should vacuum the room and then polish the floor with an electric sander. After polishing, the maple base surface should be given luster.
If you see shine, you should realize that the floor is prepared and now you should apply the stain with the help of fabrics starting from the corners. If there is a large stain, you should remove it quickly. For best results, change clothes regularly. When you’re done, you should let the stain dry completely.
Once dry you can seal your floor with a water based urethane sealer. You should apply the sealer with a foam attachment that matches the grain of the wood. You should let the floors dry for 24 to 48 hours and then put the furniture back in its usual place.
