Question from Aimee
We have bought a home in the country and the previous owners have let their pets pee all over the carpets, so we are going to pull up the carpets and, so we can move in quickly, we are thinking of sealing the subfloor underneath and then painting it with low or no VOC paints and then later we’ll put in hardwood flooring when we can afford it.
So, what we are wondering: Is there a water based wood sealer that is non toxic that we can use on the subflooring that is very effective and very safe?
Thanks!

My favorite wood finish at the moment is Vermont Natural Coatings. Made in part with whey leftover from nearby cheesemakers.
My husband and I are getting ready to build our own indoor furniture. I am looking to seal the natural wood. I see that you recommend Vermont Natural Coatings but I found another product that is supposed to be zero VOC. Would you take a look at see what you think, if it is infact it is a safe product? It is called seal-once and can be found at the link below. Thank you.

COMMENT FROM DEBRA:
This looks to me as good as any other zero-VOC petroleum product.
