| I have brand new wide plank walnut floors. They are oil finished, no poly. We like the natural look but it's just not practical with two little boys. I need low maintenance and these floors are not it. I find myself running around to wipe up every drop of water because it's spotting. And this is after many, many coats of oil. I don't want to have to worry about that. I want to be able to wipe up spills from the boys when I find them a day later if necessary.
Anyway, we decided we need polyurethane. We desire a non-glossy matte finish. Something durable for the boys. And finally something without a lot of fumes, again because of the babies. Thanks ahead of time! |

| If you are wanting to not have the burden on cleaning up spills right away wood floors are not the floors for you. Polyurethane wont solve that problem. There isnt a finish out there that does that. |
