I would be using this product on hardwood stairs. How do you "properly prepare" wood for this product? Has anyone had any problems with their stain?

I have only used it in our bathtub so I don't know about using it on wood. I'm happy with it's use in the tub. It just has to be re-sprayed about once every couple months. But it does work.

I have removed every kind of carpet stain w/o a problem. This stuff seems to wonrk on anything! However, soot was not one of them. I would think it would work just fine. If not, my mother used to use a solution of a baking soda paste & rinse water on soot, blotting dry w/old towels! (Just a thought)

While I've never used it on my hardwood floor, I have used it on my cabinets very successfully. On the bottle, it says you can use it on wood. I've used it on practically everything listed on the back of the bottle - but mostly on laundry. I order it in packages of 6 bottles at a time. This is really a great product, and I don't believe you would be disappointed!

Stain penetrates. The product produces a grainy texture and will not penetrate the wood. I would not use it with stain.

The wood is untreated so it should take stain just fine. You would want to make sure you stain and set before putting together.

I have not had any staining problems. I always rinse the sink out after use. Occasionally I use the Blanco cleaner and the sink looks brand new. The cleaner is a bit pricey but I think it's worth it personally. Hope this helps!

I've only used on wood and so far it has done a great job. You could test a small spot to see if it leaves a stain on it.

I used oil base stain and it worked great. Test with spray settings first for better control.

I would not use with stain. Stain and paint are 2 different products to protect wood. Stains is absorbed by the wood fibers, paint lays on the surface. The ceramic product would interfere with the performance of the stain.

Hi Cam, this product is good for wood floors with poly . I use it every two weeks on my heart pine floors. It seems to give a luster that looks like it was freshly cleaned. The wax does not build up like a mop and glo type product . Perhaps it sinks into the wood floor I have used it in oak and pine all over my house for years. A varnished top would be ok too. I use it on teak boat cabinets and have been very pleased. It is slippery once applied. Not for steps or floors where little children run in socks. Also not for dancing school floors because of slippery finish but it is beautiful. I hope this helps. Susan Hi Cam, this product is good for wood floors with poly .

I have painted over this product with good success. I have not attempted any stain. Since the product keeps moisture from penetrating, I would be reluctant to stain. Stain works by penetrating wood.

I agree with the other responses. The wood has been finished with a lacquer or polyurethane. It could be removed with a stripper, and would then need to be sanded before staining. It would take some work especially with hand sanding in small areas. I suggest you live with the natural for a while and then see how you feel about it...

I only used this product on wood, so I can't help you. It was very good on the wood flooring.

Lisa, this product is good for any leather. It is the best and I have used it for years. I even use it for my bike saddle. Do a color test to be safe, but it should not be a problem unless inferior stain products were used.

I used this for my wood flooring,Brazilian cherry wood. I used a diluted solution, 5 parts water to 1 part Trewax,the wood came out beautiful.

We have used this product on soft wood and then covered with varnish or a wood sealer and it has worked fine. We have not used it and then put a stain over it. I suggest you take a scrap piece of wood and apply the wood hardener and then the stain. My concern would be the stain does not cover evenly or uniformly over the wood and the hardener

Actually, I just applied Preserva Wood, a semi-transparent, oil-based stain, using the sprayer, and it worked fine (mine was "Redwood" color, it it matters). Everything worked well, although I did spend a while cleaning the sprayer afterwards to make sure I got all the stain out, so that it would get gunky inside.
