floor boards

Does anyone know a way of cleaning floor boards (pine 120 yrs old, dirty, not painted or anything) other than sanding them?

Lots of elbow grease

Try different materials in corners or where furniture will stand to find the right stuff. You could try: white spirit, polish remover, steel woll 0000, methalated spirits, soft soap, etc, etc.

Yup, that's right.. nothing beats good old-fashioned elbow grease... of course I get a little help every now and then with hardwood cleaning products..MicroPlus has a hardwood floor kit that's somewhere in the range of $35. I've also tried Bona's hardwood floor cleaner and refresher..cheap and good. Got it all from the internet (try ifloor.com or floorshop.com or you could try one in UK - ifloor.co.uk).
