I've just spent the last day or so sanding the 1950s Mahogany Parquet floor in my kitchen. It had previously been varnished so sanding it off with a sandglider floor sander was quite a challenge but I got there in the end and got a really nice finish. So far so good!
Now my mistake. I chose to finish the floor with HG Parquet Wax 65 it looked stunning until I realised my mistake... this is the kitchen and as soon as a few spots of water hit the floor they created ugly white marks. I now realise that that's what happens with a floor wax and so using it in a kitchen was not a great idea!
Well I guess my only option is to sand it off again and use a floor varnish? Unless there's an easier option, bearing in mind this floor will get water spilled on it from time to time. Any advice would be most welcome particularly the best finish to use.
Oh joy!
