Hi
A friends oak engineered floor needs some care and attention, in a couple of areas where the varnish/finish has worn the oak is lightly stained with what looks like pasta sauce but being open grained its below the surface .
Any suggestions for cleaning the stains and refinishing the worn patches. I've got an offcut from when the floor was laid so I can experiment but I'm not sure what the finish is, it looks like a thin matt lacquer or a thin polyurethane.
John

No idea what it's called but Colin C turned up today with something in a water bottle and it has cleared the chair scratches away with one wipe with a paper towel  Not a repair and if you look close you can see the damage but standing above the damage you cant see it |

Hi Jake and Gromit What i gave jason was some Bonakemi / Mega ( very good floor finish that some of the people I know use. Had some left from a small job I did. Jake It might be easier to if the bits you are selling a clean and wax as that can cover all sorts of sins. If you post some pic's I might be able to help more  |

Oh right, yes - a good floor finish, I've used the Traffic one.
Cheers, Colin, I will do. It's a poly or lacquer finish on some 60s/70s Danish furniture, just a few scratches in the finish.
