Rustic / Quick Hardwood Floor Repair/Seal
I read a couple posts on here and Google about refinishing hardwood floors, and that is not my goal. I just bought a house and tore out the carpets which were on top of some hardwood floors that are in great condition. I of course had to remove lots of staples and tack strips and this left little holes everywhere. I don't mind the rustic look and really don't want to put much money or time into this as in a year or two I intend to demolish the house anyways. Is there any quick easy process I can use to repair/seal these hardwood floors to make them look a little nicer while also getting rid of any leftover odors from the previous owners? (the odors being my biggest concern!!)
Any tips very much appreciated.
Thank You!
