just found hardwood floors under carpet

12/22/2000 11:45 PM abln

We recently bought a new house and found hardwood floors in the upstairs bedrooms under the carpet. We plan on using one of the rooms as a playroom and would like to keep the wood floor. The house is 50 years old and the floor is oak. It seems to be in pretty good condition, however some of the carpet padding is stuck to the floor. Do you have some advice on how to remove it? Secondly, because we are using the room as a playroom and will not be showing it off to company, is there any reason why we can't leave the floor as is without refinishing it? Will the floor get ruined if it is not properly refinished? Finally, how do we clean the floor. It seems as if there is no finish on it. I don't want to damage the wood. Thank you for your help
