After not getting the results that I would have liked after doing a search on wood floors in the "How-to" section, I would like to see if anyone might have some more information on "reconditioning" old wood floors...

I think that my floors are in good enough condition that I might be able to avoid sanding/refinishing them. I have read in other sources that there are ways to "recondition" a floor to bring out some of the luster thats been eliminated over years of negligence...

Can anyone fill me in on other types of hardwood floor reconditioning techniques that do not involve renting a sander and starting from scratch?

FYI - The floors that I have are probably douglas fir installed in 1918 (judging from the age of the house) and have a reddish/brown finish.

Thanks!
