Old parquet that was under carpet needs TLC
Reply with quote Thanks

Because we had water damage in our condo, we had to remove the wall to wall carpet that had been placed over a very nice parquet floor years ago, before we bought it.

Now, like our neighbors, we have decided to keep the parquet rather than re-carpet. We don't want to sand and refinish -- it does not really need it.

What it really needs in proper cleaning and re-finishing. It's still has most of the lacquer finish is probably can with, but some is gone. The color varies but is mostly a mahogany, with some surface scratches and stains.

A neighbor just uses Murphy Oil soap and theres lots of products, so I'm confused.

Any advice would be appreciated.
