Danish term or phrase: ludbehandle
I er ved at bygge hus som medbyggere. Ifølge kontrakten med byggefirmaet skal I i uge 27 - 29, mens håndværkerne er på ferie, ludbehandle træ til gulve og lofter samt lægge det/sætte det op og male indvendige vægge og træværk.

Jeg havde fundet ordet 'lime' for 'ludbehandle' på ordbogen.com men vil gerne have et alternativ da min engelske korrekturlæser studsede over dette ord...

Har nogen et forslag?

Explanation:
Pernille, du har helt rett og korrekturleseren har feil. Dette er noe vi har gjort mange ganger i min familie og når jeg har sjekket det ut siden jeg flyttet til USA så kalles dette "to lime the walls".

Sorry, "treat men" should be "treatment"

Example sentence(s):
  • Lye treat men of worn floors.

agree  David Young (X): Gyldendals Røde gives "wash with alkaline solution of wood-ashes", i.e. wash with lye. http://www.woodfloorblog.co.uk/floor-fitting/48/ http://uk.faxedesign.dk/default.asp?Action=Details&Item=200 And it looks like WOCA are really big in the US :)
