Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice on how to restore an old parquet floor in my living and dining rooms. It is original to the house, from 1948/49 but I'm not sure what sort of wood it is.
The previous owners had it covered in carpet, which I have taken up. It's in OK condition for the age, a few dents and scratches but I don't mind as it's an old floor. There are a few paint spots and one or two blocks feel slightly loose which I can live with, but would probably be ripped up by a sander.
I would like to clean and repolish it but without going down the sanding down route if possible.
