I'm about to move into a circa 1900 tenement flat which has had the hall, living room, and main bedroom floorboards exposed. The floor is in fairly poor condition in places --- there are a few gouges from furniture moving, and there are scuff marks in places. I want to repair this as much as possible without getting the floor completely sanded.
How can I tell what has been used to finish the boards? It's not very shiny anywhere, so I don't think it's varnish. Might it be teak oil or danish oil? If so, can I just clean the floor and reapply more oil on top?
Thanks, Alisdair
