Q:Planning on taking the carpet off. I needed something to protect our feet from plywood/subfloor splinters until we can get a LVP flooring. Maybe months. Carpet got bunch of holes. Option- keep tripping or take carpet out. Would that work with subfloor?

Q:SDS says 270, thanks. How can it be “no odor”? Is something inaccurate or are the VOCs odorless? Thanks.

Answer This Question
A: Thank you for reaching out! The VOC level of a product will not always indicate the odor level of a product. Please also keep in mind that odor sensitivity can vary from person to person. Since this is a water-based product, Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Floor Polyurethane will have a lower odor than an oil-based finish.

Q:What is recommended for general weekly cleaning? Is it safe to use a steam mop on this finish? I’ve used a steam mop on my engineered hardwood floors for years with no problems.

Answer This Question
A: Thank you for reaching out, Judy. After Rust-Oleum Varathane Crystal Clear Floor Finish has reached a full cure, the surface may be cleaned with a standard, non-abrasive household or floor cleaner. We do not recommend using a steam mop as the exposure to direct heat can cause the finish to blister and peel.

A: I had 2 beds converging to a hallway. I put paint tape over the first bed's threshold. Then polyurethaned that room. Did the next bedroom moving into the hall and, removed the tape. The first bedroom was still wet enough to blend in. But I move very fast
