Hi Scott,

I can't say for flooring specifically, but general staining tips that have served me well:

1. Clean thoroughly between grits. This helps eliminate bits of grit that have come loose and can leave swirls and scratches.

2. You may want to consider using a wood conditioner. It will absorb into the softer fibers and seal them. This will help the stain to absorb more evenly. Also, if the scratches are really bad, the conditioner can help show them up as well, giving you a chance to sand again.


All the best!
