   Wear a mask to protect yourself from the dust and check the floor for nails or other objects.
   You will need to rent a sander to sand your floor.
   However check how it works before you bring it home.
   Ensure that you have sufficient supply of sandpaper (in different grits) and run the sander over your floor.
   Once you have sanded using the heavy-grit sandpaper move on to sand with a lighter-grain.
   
2. If you choose to stain your floor following the sanding, you need to clear the floor or dust.
   Ensure that even fine dust is cleared and apply the first coat of stain to the floor.
   You can use a rag or a brush if you need heavier coats of stain.
   Allow the first coat to dry and if you are satisfied with the look, don't use another coat.
   
3. To finish, you will need to use polyurethane.
   You can apply it with a brush or a roller and let it dry.
   It might take around 4-5 hours to dry, depending on the brand of finish you use.
   If you have used a second coat, you have to let it dry overnight.
   Don't use the room for a couple of days.
   You can bring your furniture back in only 3-4 days after that.
