We had some wood flooring put down a smidge over 5 years ago. It's held up pretty well, but the oil is starting to wear thin in a couple of heavy traffic areas, and there's a few minor scuffs/scrapes, so I'd like to sand it down and give it a fresh coat of oil.
I was thinking of hiring a floor sander such as this one. Are they fairly simple to use? My only concern is that it only needs a light sanding to take the oil off, so is this a bit OTT? It's only engineered wood with a few mm of wear layer, so I don't want the floor sander to tear through all of it!
The area is only ~35 sqm, so I could potentially do it with my orbital sander. Would take a lot longer and burn through a fair few sheets, but perhaps I'd have a bit more control.
