Gel Stain question

I am very much a novice, so please bear with me. I saw a show on HGTV the other day where they went over a finished wood floor with gel stain to darken the wood. I have hard wood floors but don't like the light color. I doubt I would be able to do the whole refinishing of them so have left the carpet down for now. When I saw this show, it gave me hope.

Would I just wipe the stain on and then off to get a darker wood. Would the floors have to be prepped at all. How long before we could walk on them? Sorry for all the questions. We have a VERY small house and my husband is handicapped, so I need to know some things before I can try this. Thanks!
