A friend has a house built in 1950's with terrazzo floors. She wants to lighten the color of the floors - she said someone told her she could use a white latex stain on them.
Has anyone done this?? Suggestions?

I can't say that I've ever heard of that....I guess anything is possible...but you'll have to deal with the sealer that is on the terrazzo....it was put on to stop the terrazzo from staining...so anything you put on now will probably not soak in and wear off quite quickly...you could try it in closet or something to see what happens..but I don't think it will work. And no, you can't get the sealer off...it has soaked into the terrazzo..sealer and floor finish(the shine) are two different products.
