Before I can do anything about the gaps between my floorboards, I should probably at least try to give them a bit of a clean first. In fact, some of them are so filled up with dirt that I doubt I'd be able to fit any draughtproofing down there (and no, I do not consider a layer of dirt to be a solution to the problem).
There are lots of suggestions on how to fill the gap, but does anyone have any helpful tips for removing the dirt/snails/bits of underlay/old coins from between the gaps first.
Is it wishful thinking that there might be some sort of super-strong vacuum suction attachment or clever tool specially made for this purpose, to save me hours of poking about with an old screwdriver?
