Is it better to varnish or oil a white pine floor in a bathroom?
Softwood species such as white pine are better oiled rather than varnished. Because these types of wood can mark easily, varnishes tend to break under impact and end up absorbing water every time the floor is washed or wetted significantly, such as after a shower. Oils are more suitable for this kind of situation and are also easier to maintain.
