Hi
I have ripped up my living room carpet and we have discovered the same parquet flooring runs from our hall into the living room. The parquet seems to be in good condition and as such I do not see the need to sand.
I have two questions:
1) I'm not sure how to give it a little TLC and make it look a bit more "new looking" i.e. How to clean it and Wax/Varnish etc...
2) There are patches where it has become a little worn (looks like someone took a sander to an area 1 feet square and then gave up) and I am not sure how to now match this lighter area with the rest of the floor...
I am by no means a DIY legend but have booked some time off this week to have a go.....hope you can help?
Thanks in advance
