hello

I dunno, um, floor oil?

I bloody love that method wood stuff though. Smells so good I could drink it. But I won't.

How smooth is it? Could you just use a damp microfibre mop on it?

DH is always going on about Danish oil [whatever the feck that is] but suspect that might be for furniture and maybe has lots of nasties. But unless your gonna use vegetable product it's going to be made of petrochemicals anyhow.
