How to Sand Wood Floors by Hand
- 1). Place a fine-grain sanding barrel into a drum sander and turn it on. Move the sander over the entire surface of the wood floor.
- 2). Place a fine-grain sanding belt into an orbital sander and turn it on. Place the sander over areas of the floor that are especially rough or uneven to smooth them out.
- 3). Run a shop vacuum over the entire floor to eliminate sawdust.
