Q: I stained a floor then a contractor came in and worked in the house. He thought it was sealed but it wasn’t. How can I clean it up enough to seal it?
A: Just vacuum thoroughly using a soft brush and if need be wipe it with a dry micro weave mop afterward, then apply a coat of finish.
Follow-up: Thanks a lot. It worked.
