[sPAM] Natural/traditional way to seal wood floors?

<<Is there a natural way to seal wood floors?>>

This is why they varnished then edges and had carpets over the vulnerable

areas. And " best rooms " that only were usedd for special events!

<<I am pretty sure polyeurathane is really bad on a number of levels, but I

know that wood floors cannot be left bare (especially with little kids and what

they will do to them). >>

You have to remember that bare wood floors (and woodwork) are a modern idea

and only possible because of all the hard wearing new clear floor coverings.

In olden times, you used homemade wax polishes on wall panelling and furniture

(still a very good idea from the additive point of view) but painted or covered

floors. The reason old houses have all those nice pine floors is because pine

was a cheap softwood and was expected to be covered. If you were poor, you

painted the floors.

If I were worrying about making my house more natural, I think that I would

use sisal rugs and so forth. Or look for the least lethal sounding

polyeurathane.
