Waxing hardwood floors
So, the house I live in has some very old hardwood floors. They are in marginally good condition in most places but have a lot of old dirt and stains. We have carpets most places but the carpet in my master bedroom was getting a bit old and so I decided to pitch it. I spent all of this evening mopping and scrubbing with some Murphy oil soap, getting them as clean as possible. There are still some stains where I need some more aggressive scrubbing to clean it up...
The floors still shine nicely while wet (of course)... but have obviously not been waxed within the last 20 or 30 years. I was wondering if anyone has brought back to life old hardwood floors without getting drastic (i.e. no sanding and re-staining/varnishing). Are there any oils or waxes that I can used to get the shine back?
This was the first thing on my summer '09 list of DIY s***.....
