Q imported from our old site, Face Lift Floors: Our kitchen is being remodeled. They have already put in the cabinets, counter tops and refinished the hardwood floors (the first coat of polyurethane is on). We are having a BBQ on Saturday and are going to wait to have the final coats of poly put on the floors until after the party. Is it safe to put everything (dishes, food, etc.) back in the cabinets or should we wait until after the last coat of poly is applied?
A: I would definitely wait. Last thing you want is an odor clinging to your dishes.
