I recently bought a turn-of-the-century house with hardwood floors.
They are weathered in places and I am considering refinishing them very
soon. In the meantime, what is the best way to clean them? I am not
sure what kind of finish they have/had or how to proceed. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Alex Z.

we sweep first then we mop with murphy's oil soap a couple two three
times (or til the water stops looking nasty) and then use a dilution of
lemon oil in hot water to keep ours clean & give a little finish. good
luck.
