Use old lumber for this, if at all possible so that it will match the original floor. Old oak floors which are badly marred can be replaced, stained and then waxed once a month with an electric polisher. If you like an antique finish, stain after replaning. All wood floors will look better when theyre waxed at least once a month, and theyre the kind of floors which people notice when walk into the room. Soil from they waxed floors can be removed by going over the floor with a clean damp cloth dipped lightly in turpentine or liquid polish and cleaner. The floor should be allowed to dry before polish is applied. Soft, wood floors, found frequently in old homes of the Colonial and cottage type may also be replaned and waxed for a new look. If, however, they are in poor condition, they may be painted in dark green, maroon, brown, blue or black. If they are being painted for the first time, the floors should be washed with soap and water. Go over them with a cloth dipped in benzine grease. Floors which have been painted before should have the old finish removed ng Floors Beyond Repair Need Linoleum If the floors are in such bad shape that they cannot be repaired, or if the expense is too great, it is best to use linoleum, especially in halls, bathrooms, childrens rooms, game rooms or kitchens. A monotone linoleum can be used as a base for scatter rugs in any of these rooms. Linoleum will wear longer if it is kept waxed, whether it is of the inlaid type or printed type. Selfpolishing waxes are good because they do not have to be shined. For the linoleum floor in the kitchen, sweep daily with a soft broom and wipe spilled foods as quickly as possible. For weekly or y cleaning, use a damp out mop wrung very dry. When the linoleum needs more cleaning, use a mop wrung out in mild soap suds. All strong powders should be avoided, as should coarse brushes. Its not wise to flood the linoleum covering with water, as this may injure the covering. Rinse and dry thoroughly and quickly. When dry, apply a new coat of liquid or selfpolishing wax. In rooms other than the kitchen, linoleum can be cleaned daily with an d mop.

First of all, they dont look nice, no matter how lovely your furnishings. Second, they may offer any number of discomforts, such as snagging you while you walk, squeaking, and innumerable cleaning problems. There are many ways to fix old flocyrs which offer problems, and they may cost but little. Much of the work does not have to be professional as long as one is patient and does it carefully.

For this reason, something neutral should be selected as neutral beige or gray. If you desire to use some of the other shades, and your furnishings go with them, select green, maroon or others. Lighter rugs are preferred currently to the darker ones, but they are more perishable, too. If you live in a clean community, light colored rugs are certain to hold up, but if there is soot, it would be wiser to invest in the darker colors. Go over the rugs with a carpet sweeper or a vacuum cleaner every day or several times a week to keep the dirt from grinding into the pile where it may cut and injure the mg. Take care of spots as quickly as they appear, and between professional cleanings give the rug a quick brightening with one of the mg powders or cleaners. It will bring results.' On the.
