I didn't have any problem vacuuming the floors if any debris did fall into them. Plus we had a large rug in our living room. Hope this answers your questions. We were very happy with our floors!

Did you fill any gaps between the boards to keep dirt and debris from getting in them? If not, is it hard to clean the small gaps? Thank you.

Isn't that yellowing the pits?? Ugh!...Hi Elena! Isn't that yellowing the pits?? Ugh! I actually think the white wash, helped tone down the yellowing, so that when I stained it, less yellow would come through.<br /><br />So, if I'm understanding correctly, you skipped the priming white wash, and went straight to staining. The only think I can think of is to sand, prime white wash them, then stain again. It's a long process, but you want to be happy with the finished look. <br /><br />I would try a sample piece and see how it turns out. Hope it works out for you!!The Stonybrook Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315674290038463453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463468738687411874.post-80422355721434055512021-03-21T01:00:30.807-04:002021-03-21T01:00:30.807-04:00Hi I am currently following this floor idea but I ...Hi I am currently following this floor idea but I have noticed the yellow from the wood is bleeding thru, I followed all your steps except the white wash step.
