The best way is to sand them down and re-finish, but it's really dusty. You could try stripping the finish too, but the fumes will get you higher than a Georgia pine tree. Most home improvement joints have floor sanders for rent (though, you will have to purchase the sanding discs). There's no need to pay someone to do it - it's not difficult to do. Just take time to seal off the area to keep the dust confined. Have fun!

I am in the cleaning business and here is our secret!
We use the swiffer, but instead of using t hose expensive refills,
We buy this cleaning cloth off the internet. You have to buy in packages of 5 but they are only like $3 bucks a piece. I have ordered them and use them on everything, especially cleaning windows and clean mirrors. They are made out of tiny fibers. They are guaranteed not to scratch and all you do is rinse the cloth under water, wring it out and wipe ANY surface with no streaks or scratch. Use em over and over. I have not thrown one away yet!
I am sold on this ...I encourage you to try it out….hope this helps…Steve

Replace all broken or split boards.
Hammer down all nails to below board height.
Hire industrial floor sanders.
Sand, with direction of wood grain, across wood grain, then again in same direction of wood grain.
Caulk between the boards to fill gaps.
Sand twice again, in the direction of the wood grain.
Clean, and varnish with floor varnish.
