    Clear varnish is your only man.

    I think B & Q have a special wood floor paint that can be used. I've seen it used on something like DIY SOS or one of those programmes.

    They have a wood dye that will give you that washed out white look.
    You wont be able to keep them looking sparkly white (like the doors for example)
    if you go with a gloss etc...
