    What’s involved in burnishing a floor? And how about buffing a floor? What are the differences between each? What are the pros and cons to each approach? If I hired a floor fitter, which option would be the cheapest? Is there much of a difference in the quality of the outcome of using each of these options? Thanks for your time.
