Monica,
Please check the Museum-L archives on this topic. We had a good discussion about this last summer I believe.
Cheers!

========================================================= Important Subscriber Information:Hello all --We have an 1800s structure with the original cypress flooring that needs some TLC. It's been waxed and/or varnished at some point, but I don't know with what. We need a way to mop it, disinfect it, and we'd love to give it a protective coating if possible, but of course, we don't want to damage it. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what to use?Thanks,MonicaMonica PelsCurator of CollectionsLouisiana Secretary of State Museums Division3015 Greenwood Road, Shreveport, LA 71109P.O.
