It helps keep the dirt down, and not ingrained in the wood! I took ages to stain my stairs and had to sand it a lot to get it back to its natural state & it looked so much better once the job is done!

Natural is nice but if you get the pine stain & add a tiny bit of teak stain you get a gorgeous warmer tone, of course test the colour on a spare piece of timber as over doing it is a killer to remove! :)
