    Thanks for sharing how you did this. We have a 104 year old house and my dust allergies are killing me from the old carpet. However, we have hardwood underneath! It appears there may be some paint splatters on the floor as well but it's nice to know how to get that off and stain them to look like new again.

      Thanks for watching. You should definitely remove that old carpet and expose the wood floors! Honestly I think a few paint splatters and imperfections is the way floors should look in a 100 year old house.

    You left the most important part out! How did you clean the floors up before staining them?

      He didn’t say but Murphy soap mixed with warm water works great

    definitely inspirational. I am planning on doing the same for my house when I decide to remove the carpet in the future. Thanks for the encouragement and demo. :). SUBSCRIBED. 176

    What bit of sanding paper did you use? Did you use any special tools to remove the taks.
    Steal wool, clean the debris, wax light sand, repeat until you get your desired shade.

    Looks great. Did you do anything extra to get the stains out besides using the wool like sponge?

    Great video, but would have liked to see how you got from dirty crapy looking floor to nice stained clean looking floor

    Pry bars work better for removing tack strips than chisels.

    how did you fix the floors if there are cracks or gaps by the edge where it meets the wall? the final result looks amazing!

    Encouraging that it didn’t require a heavy sanding down to bare wood.
