I can’t seem to find many tips online on removing polyurethane coats from a wood floor, only advice on how to apply. I definitely want to stain the wood at the top floor of a brownstone. The floors were likely re-finished with poly not too long ago, but the coat is a bit thick and glossy for my taste. Also, I would like to take a go at a white stain on what is probably a white oak floor. The wood is not great so I see no need to keep this poly and ‘natural’ look. Any advice on how to get the wood ready for stain? Also – any luck with a strong pigment white stain? Any advice is much appreciated – or recommendations for those who perform the services…

Thanks!
