Question:
We have recently discovered that under the horrible carpet we have through the main portion of the house- we have solid oak wood floors. It will need a sand and refinish ideally- though they are in pretty good shape. We can't afford to do that for a while...what do you suggest in the meantime to protect the floors for now? Our house is about 50 years old, we have no idea how old the flooring is. Thank you for your time.
Answer:
Since you are planning to sand and refinish the floors anyway, just use them as you would any other flooring until then. You can certainly put down area rugs and such, and should take the normal precautions to protect your hardwood floors such as avoiding water damage and never using wax or a soap-based cleaner on them. After they are sanded and coated, they should pretty much look brand new again!
