Yes. Make sure you strip all clear finish off down to bare wood and stain. You can re-stain with same or darker color tone, but can't go lighter in tone. In order to go lighter you have to plane the wood down past the stain penetrating layer. good luck with your project.
Can you put stain in polyurethane to darken the color?
Wood stain is abosorbed into the wood, so the wood takes on the color of the stain. This is why the features of the wood are still visible, unlike with paint.
Yes solid color stain
Laminate wood flooring is a highly durable, cost-efficient alternative to traditional hardwood floors. Scratch, fade and stain resistant, laminate wood flooring never needs to be replaced or refinished. Laminate flooring is a composite material with several layers that make it strong and attractive. Available in a wide variety of colors, plank widths and wood styles, laminate flooring is versatile and will add style and class to any decor. Easy to install with a simple click joint or locking system, laminate floors don't require glue or nails and can be fully installed over an existing floor in a matter of a weekend.
The advantages of laminate flooring are simple, they look really nice, almost everyone enjoys the look of them, laminate flooring is actually much more durable than hard wood! It's also very easy to take care of, it doesn't stain easily! A disadvantage to how easily it stays clean is that you have to care for it a lot to make sure it finishes properly, and it is somewhat expensive!

Laminate and tile floors hold up the best with indoor dogs. Hardwood floors can be scratched by sharp nails, and carpet tends to stain from the occasional accident.
Can I Sand & refinish LaminateNO, NO, & NO!Laminate is a printed picture of a floor and designed not to be absorbent, if you sand it, (probably would be impossible to get it uniform) the subsurface won't absorb the stain & you wouldn't have the strong finish laminate is known for either,,No NO & Not ever!!
Whether lamination refers to flooring, printing, or any other area, its chief benefit is its protective and/or stain-resistant nature. With flooring, this means little to no mold or mildew to ever deal with. Laminate flooring is also extremely easy to put down and comes in a wide variety of forms capable of mimicking more expensive options.
