Can you condition leather with natural ingredients?

• <div><p>Yes. A good mixture to condition your leather is made from one tablespoon of natural baby soap, a splash of vinegar, and 2 cups of warm water. Mix these ingredients in a bowl and use a microfiber cloth to rub it into the leather in small circles. </p><p>You can apply the same technique with a mixture of one part vinegar and two parts linseed oil. Once you’ve applied this to leather with a cloth, let it sit for 10 minutes before buffing with a small cloth.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to remove the stain before refinishing?

• <div><p>Removing the original paint or stain before refinishing is a good idea, as it ensures the new finish bonds strongly to the wood. If you skip the stripping or sanding step, the new finish may peel or flake away from the railing easily. Using a wood stripper will completely remove the old stain or paint while sanding will help to prime the surface.</p></div>

Q: Are there environmental benefits to resurfacing instead of replacing surfaces?

• <div><p>Refinishing reduces landfill waste, minimizes resource extraction impacts, and uses fewer raw materials than new installations.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if you can refinish a table?

• <div><p>A good way to determine that a table is not worth refinishing is if it's painted. Often they are painted to cover up flaws with the wood you won't be able to fix. You want a good, solid wood table that just needs a facelift rather than a rickety wood table with a lot of problems. </p></div>

Q: Does wood stain go bad?

• <div><p>Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years. </p></div>

I had a good experience.They did the whole first floor of my home and they sanded all the floors down to the original wood, they restained all of the wood and then they refinished the stained wood with two coats of polyurethane. They also refinished the molding around so it was a fairly big job....

We moved out of our old house and wanted to get it ready to rent. It was quite a job, as the big furniture hadn't been moved in 10 years and we have a long-haired cat. Gail and her crew did an exceptional job. They cleaned out all the window sills, bathrooms, kitchen (including the fridge,...
