If the floors are in good condition, then I would suggest: 1. clean them really well. 2. lightly sand with a super fine grit sand paper ( use a sanding pole so you can stand up). This will clean off any residue etc. I would not skip this step. 3. Clean up again by vacuming then use a tack cloth to get up the fine dust. 4 Now apply a thin even coat of Poly. 5. Sand again, clean up dust again, apply 2nd thin coat of poly. Be sure to use a very good quality large brush to apply the poly. This is not a hard job, just takes a lot of time. Be prepared to allow 2 days to dry between coats. Most people say you can move in after 2 days, but if you can wait a week for the poly to get really hard that is better. I worked in claims for a moving company and we made people wait at least a week so that the floors didn’t get damaged during move in. Hope that helps. You might also want to ask for more help at the place you plan to buy the poly, they can help with bush selection etc.
