Lime wash floor. Wipe off the stain with a clean rag while the stain is still wet, again working in the direction of the boards and the wood grain.

Move along the floor boards applying and wiping off stain in small sections at a time until you have stained the whole floor. Let the floor dry for a few hours if you used water-based stain; let it dry overnight if you used oil-based stain. Don't proceed with sealing the floor until the sealer is fully dry to the touch.

Floor Problem and their solution.CUPPING.Some cupped floors lie flat once moisture issues arecorrected. Other floors might be deformed permanently.

A floor that doesn't lie flat needs to be sanded, but only when the moisture content of the top and bottom of the boards is within 1%. I drive a moisture meter through the subfloor to check the bottoms of the boards. If you sand the peaked edges of a cupped floor too soon, you could have crowned boards when they're fully dry.
