I'm helping my niece renovate an older house. For the last 10 - 15 years, the hardwood floors have been covered with carpet. Because of her allergies, she wanted to remove the carpet, which we did.
The hardwood floors underneath are beautiful, and we did not find any damage, other than a few scuff marks, and holes where the carpet tack strips were nailed.
Also, the carpet padding left some residue on the hardwood, i.e., the pattern in the carpet padding is imprinted on some of hardwood flooring. I'm not sure what this imprint is, but it may just be dirt or where the padding stuck to the hardwood. This pattern looks similar to the same pattern in screen wire.
Because of the expense involved, my niece can not afford to have the floors sanded and refinished, so, I'm asking for recommendations as to what to do to bring the floors back to a decent finish. The floor has a satin finish. My niece does not care for the high gloss finish and is o.k. with a satin finish.
Suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks, Bob
