Question 12

I have some worn wood flooring in my condo that I want to refinish in a safe way. I was wondering which products you recommend would be the simplest and safest to use. I was looking at the BioShield Hard Oil and AFM Naturals Clear Penetrating Oil because it says they are food grade, so I thought they would be good for flooring if you expect to be walking barefoot. However, I am not sure if they require long drying times and mechanical burnishing or sanding. Is here anything that can be applied that does not require burnishing? I would like to try to do the job myself. View answer
