The first stage is to prepare the surface to be white washed, as well as laying sheets down to protect the floor. To prepare the surface wash it down with water. Then Apply an even coat of white wash with a roller or paint brush. Standing back and checking for even coverage helps improve the quality of the work.

Pickling is a term used for hardwood floors to make them appear whitewashed. It takes a few days for the whitewash to cure completely, giving your flooring an antique look. Dairy barns are know to have whitewash because it was an inexpensive way to keep everything clean and easy to wash.
