I agree. We went with the natural color of the wood, so we sanded the floors then put the polyurethane finish on without staining. The floors are gorgeous. This summer we are doing the 2 bedrooms to match the rest of the house (they are still the original stained color).Originally Posted by Pami
My opinion with cats is, the lighter the better.
We wipe up things right away, but the purpose of the polyurethane finish is to protect the floors.
We used water based polyurethane finish because we had a severe time crunch (just weeks to do the floors and move in). It dries faster than oil based.
