Restoring Hardwoods?


I have hardwood floors that are 10+ years old. Dull and scratched. I want them to look good again, but I do not want the disruption of sanding.
Any suggestions?

Go on vacation while the floors are refinished.

You can have them chemically stripped, hand planed and scraped. Take a LONG vacation.
