Suyun 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 I have PM you. Just to share. That I have stayed in same house when it was polished and vanished. It was not a pleasant experience.Though we slept in another room during renovation. I would not do it again. The smell was bad and I did not have a good night sleep. My kids really dislike the smell of the vanish. And the smell takes time to disappear. If possible, send the kids to your mum or MIL place to sleep. It is better for their health and well being.all the best to your Reno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically its a like a huge vacuum cleaner. It grind and suck the dust at the same time. after that, varnish it like its brand new parquet. U can walk inside the house the following day. It is that simple.BUT.... the following is what the contractor DON'T tell u, esp those who are staying inside the house.The smell is unbearable. It even irritates my eyes to tears... that i have to quickly run out of the house to breath and to "relax" my eye. its like cutting onions.U can't open the window during the first day. Any dust that fly inside the house and makes the floor stuck with the dust as its still 'wet'.So u can only ventilate the room the following day. But bcas u are overseas, no one will ventilate the room for u. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW hows the charges like??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is really good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
