We are coming to the end of having a new staircase fitted. Apart from

I don't think beeswax is ideal as a stair finish but what should I
use?Â* My carpenters have recommended *Osmo* which is a fancy
finishing oilÂ* from Germany.


It is an oil that a lot of professionals use. I know someone who
swears by the stuff,


Perhaps someone could explain what is meant by *lint free cloth*. I had
in mind surreptitiously acquiring a handy teacloth:-)


Something that does not shed fibres into your nice finish while applying it!
