@breezy_2 I know this post is from 13 years ago, but I wonder if you were able to resolve your situation and how?

OK....whoa! Hold your horses on 'Refresher' products. If you do NOT want to do any damage to these floors then stay AWAY from Refreshers. They are, in a nut shell, temporary polishes that can prevent the full sand/refinish at a later date. Just as I suspected. The Bona Refresher is a polyacrylic + polyethylene WAX polish!!!!! Ohhhh dear. Not good. Not good at all. Here's the ingredients list: https://www.bona.com/en-US/Bona-Professional/Products/Floor-Care/Refreshers/Bona-Pro-Series-Hardwood-Floor-Refresher/ And here's the "How to use" Document: https://www.bona.com/Global/Documents/United%20States/Technical%20Data%20Sheets/TDS%20Bona%20Pro%20Series%20Hardwood%20Floor%20Refresher%c2%ae%20US.pdf?epslanguage=en Did you notice the "Use every 3-4 months" statement? Right. Like ALL temporary polishes, the Bona REQUIRES a maintenance cycle that is 3-4 applications PER YEAR!!! Is that something you want to start? Is it part of your busy schedule to move bed/clothes/shoes every 3 months just to keep the floors looking fresh? Not in my house...that's for sure. To refinish your floors PROPERLY you have to pay someone MORE to remove the gunk (don't believe the 'leaves no residue'...that's hog wash. Of course it leaves a residue...how do you think the floors look BETTER after use???) and then HOPE AGAINST HOPE the new finish will stick to wood that has been contaminated by a 'polish'. Even if it is Bona. Please oh please...NEVER EVER use any polish, refresher, 'Rejuvenate', 'Orange Glo' or anything else that says, "Brings your wood floors back to Life!". They quick fix today leads to expensive heart ache years from now. Your floors look good for 20+ year old poly. Believe it or not, it is time to do a full sand/refinish. I would plan on that for year 25. Save the money, save your sanity and just do a full sand/refinish in 2-5 years time. Do NOTHING in the mean time.

If you've got the budget, have at it.

Hi @mciri001, Please be careful going too dark with your historic floor. I know you don't like the difference in that one yellow board, and I get it, but going too dark will lose beauty of the heart pine altogether. In your picture, you can see that the yellow board is naturally more yellow than the rest of the floor. To make that difference less dramatic, your floor will be VERY dark. And that board will always be lighter. Personally, I would learn to embrace the variation in the floor. But I love heart pine. If I had it, I would be celebrating it!
