How can you stain and polyurethane floors in on step?

i'm going with minwax polyshades. cabot also makes a stain & polyurethane in one application. i noticed there are 3 questions about how to mix stain & polyurethane on this site. all 3 are unanswered. i was researching the topic & i've seen reference to a polyurethane stain kit. can't find out what a polyurethane stain kit is. my tenant left behind an opened can of minwax polyshades. i tried some of it out & i think it looks fine. i sanded some of the scratches & paint stains out, put on a coat of natural wood stain & i'm using the polyshades as an overcoat. there are still some scratches but it looks a lot better than it did before. the polyshades should help mask some of the scratches & give it a more even tone. bottom line - it's really difficult to find information on how to mix stain & polyurethane so the minwax & cabot all in one products look good to me. i wish they came in sizes larger than a quart, but easier to go pick that product up than to continue looking for information that indicates what a polyurethane stain kit is & how to use it.

Explain the usage of Minwax polyurethane Polyshade on hardwood floors.?

As I just found out the hard way - Minwax Polyshade is NOT RECOMMENDED for floors. My 'expert' at the hardware didn't mention this when he recommended it for my hardwood floors. The manufacturer does NOT recommend it and I also see its written on the can 'not for floors'. I should have checked that myself except the home hardware 'expert' assured me it was great and 'more durable'. It is NOT more durable. In fact, the very problem is that it will be LESS durable. It might even look good but it will scrape and even peel and shred up the first time you move a chair back and forth, or even a harder sole on a shoe or boot will tear it up. It will leave you with a very soft 'plastic' coat that will easily scar, scrape off or dull! IF you are like me and already made the mistake of staining a hardwood floor with Minwax 'one step' Polyshade then (Im told and will find out soon) the only solution (next to removing it) is to buy a very good and proper hardwood floor polyurethane 'top coat' and lay down 2 coats over top.
