Yes, floor sanding can be quite messy, especially with traditional sanding methods that produce a lot of fine dust. This dust can settle on furniture, walls, and even inside air vents, lingering long after the project is finished. However, the mess can be greatly reduced by using dust-free sanding equipment and taking proper precautions, such as sealing off rooms, covering furniture, and using professional-grade vacuums. With the right approach, the impact on your home’s cleanliness can be minimised significantly.
