oil spot tile - now 'pig fat' as a 'finish' for counters and

Right you are Anita...

I'd venture to suppose it a good idea, to wash one's hands,
with soap even, after much prolongued handleing of that sort
of 'floor'...


(... or, dos the 'Pork fat' enjoy a Pasteurization before
these applications? -
to disuade any of the various wiggley or brooding
life-cycle
stages, say, of
Balantidium coli, Diphyllobothrium latum, Echinococcus
granulosis, Entamoeba histolytica, Fasciola hepatica,
Fasciolopsis buski, Gastidiscoides hominus, Iodamoeba
butschlii, Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus, Old World
hookworm, Opisthorchis felineus, Paragonimus, Schistosoma
incognitum, Trichinella spiralis, Tripanosoma gambiense,
or other pesky of maybe recalsitrant little 'what', as may
be, from
laying-in-pouty-wait for
some unsuspecting Soul to accidently offer succour?)

And...(while we're at it...) am I rash to feel a little
sceptical, doubtful
even, of it's being entirely appropriate for some of
the finer points of the Kosher or Muslim ways-of-things...in
Kitchen-Cuisine particularly?

Now...is it at all 'slippery'?...Shiney?

...does one Wax it as well?

Hmmmmmmm...or if one had a long sort of 'Hall'...and if in
Stockings, with a running-start...maybe be pretty
allright...

The oxblood floors I've seen in New and old Mexico have a shiney/matte
appearance. They wax well, and refinishing is a matter of scraping
lightly, then polishing with damp burlap. Seems to be a old way of doing
things, but the result is attractive.

Regards health: does the "5 second rule" apply? (If a morsel is grabbed
within 5 seconds, we pretend it never hit the floor .

Hey Roger,

I am sure that various Animal fat 'finishes' were indeed the
rule in Europe as well as elsewhere for many Centuries...
for floors, tables and what, as well as for textile ( or
even leather) clothing to seal and waterproof them.

Hadn't thought about that in a long time...interesting!

Well, Phil, FYI: Neatsfoot oil is used to this day, and a great waterproofer
and softerner (is that the right word?) it is for leather. I also have seen
and used pastes advertising that they contain mink oil...
And, long ago, far away, the family ski boots (heavy leather, nothing like
the plastic ones today) were oiled with castor oil before being stored....
