In keeping with the "green" theme this week, the NY Times takes eco-friendly flooring to the next step.Dirt floors - dirt mixed with lime and sand to harden and after two weeks is sealed with linseed oil and beeswax - is the movement towards "natural building",whereby materials that have had the least amount of processing are used. These floors can be cleaned with soap and water or shined with another coat of oil. Sounds easy but finding the right folks to help you get the proper mixture and installation right can prove to be difficult!
