DIY & Home Improvement

I bet your whole house is going to feel, maybe even smell, cleaner! There was dark gray shag *throughout* a house we bought, and when we tore it up, we found beautiful oak floors with darker edging around the sides--how could anyone have wanted to cover that up?

After you get squared away, look around at Bed & Bath, or Marshall's, for floor restorers. You just wipe them on with a rag or a mop, and they really brighten up wood floors--maybe you won't need to sand & poly them--plus, with these products, you can do just a section at a time, so no need for a big furniture move or the dreadful mess sanding makes. I'd definitely try one of them before I went to sanding. You might be perfectly happy with the results!
