"You'll first need to prepare the surface by sanding it down to remove any existing finish. Then, mix the limewash solution according to the instructions. Apply the limewash evenly on the wood floor using a brush or roller. Let it dry completely before applying additional coats if needed. Remember to seal the limewashed floor with a protective finish for durability."

"This is the way you do it
Lightly dip the ends of the brush in the limewash glaze wipe off the excess on the side of the can and working in small sections work the glaze into the wood alternating in circular and straight motions, make sure there is no excess glaze anywhere then use the hardly damp rag to Lightly wipe off extra glaze ok"

Try this

Mix together one part water and two parts white latex paint for the whitewash solution. If you want a heavier whitewash, use one part water to three parts paint. You can use a light gray paint, if you want a slightly darker color"
