Question 8

I am extremely chemical sensitive so I am unable to use any stains or finishes with VOCs. I need to redo my hardwood floors as well as trim. Your Monocoat sounds like a godsend for me. My problem is, my wife likes at least a semi-gloss shine. Is there any way to use the Monocoat and the Universal Maintenance Oil to get a higher shine? I told her about the satin but she doesn't think that will be enough. View answer

Question 12

Just had marmoleum click tile installed. After trim installation it looks like some glue was spilled and wiped or scrubbed off, leaving shiny streaky marks. Will the Forbo cleaner get rid of these marks? Will I need to refinish the affected area? View answer

Question 13

I discovered when I used Bon Ami (calcium carbonate) on my Marmoleum that I was able to get some long-standing stains off of the floor. I have faithfully used the Marmoleum cleaner and finish for the last five years, but I think I can restore some bad staining with Bon Ami. If I do that, and then apply finish after I'm done, will it hurt the floor? View answer

Question 15

What finish do you recommend for keeping pine floors as light as possible? Our 110 plus year old floors are old growth pine that show their nails (from being refinished too many times, by previous owners.) We would prefer to keep the light honey color of pine, and avoid too much darkening while at the same time preserving these antique floors, with a repairable finish if possible. View answer
