The boards are about 10” +/- wide. I re read that and thought it read like I have floors that wide. Lol. That wouldn’t make sense either.

Hopefully if you’re old enough to want to read about caring for your wood floors, you are able to tell not just from the edge but they usually have a high gloss and there is no need to put a shine on them. This is probably reserved for those of us with OCD and it moisturizes the wood and just looks lovely. I have some of the most beautiful wood floors that I have ever seen. I’m nearing 50 yrs young and live near Gettysburg PA. We have a lot of beautifully restored homes in our area and I’m fortunate to have one of those homes. My home is pre 1900 and my wood floors are about … guessing here… 10”+ wide.

Best of luck with your project and I hope that if you have similar floors that you will research it and find something in my post helpful.

FYI – My floors have old wood but , yes, they are refinished. Not darker. A beautiful golden color. Tea deodorizes the wood. It’s actually listed everywhere on the Internet as the BEST way to clean wood floors. I would rather grab a bottle of something from under the kitchen counter but I researched the best way to clean them and tried a couple of ways and had been extremely happy since.

Note: I would not use this on the newer floating wood floors or any floors with a lot of shine but hopefully common sense should tell you not to put oil on those floors. ..

I completely agree. Sometimes the articles with all of the ads seem to be different than what u think the site is for … (( DIY)) and it’s disappointing.

I think this works for older floors that may have a lot of the finish worn down, but for newer floors, especially pre-finished floors (you can usually tell if your flooring is prefinished, since the edges of each board are chamfered slightly) you may want to not use the oil but I can see how the tea would help especially darker flooring.
