This is just a comment to Melissa Magnuson… I also have polyurethaned floors but I’m assuming the polyurethane wasn’t applied heavily or evenly enough and the oils are able to penetrate to the wood still. I like knowing that the wood (which is very old in my home) is at least getting some sort of ‘nourishment’ and it’s obvious that it is because the wood darkens a little once the oil is applied. Be careful however, as wood floors can get very slippery after applying the oil. =) If you have an area of floor that’s not very noticeable (perhaps in a closet?), you could try the oil and see what happens. =) I hope that helps some. =)

If you have a finish on your floor already that is either polyurethane, verathane, shellac…..these are all finishes that have sealed the surface of your floor and ( no oil product will penetrate this surface unless it is removed first.

I have a polyerathane finish on my floor currently and wondered if it would be okay to apply the Boiled Linseed Oil on top of my floor?
