It is possible to make it, using metal brush. Though sometimes up to the end it is impossible to clean old paint and varnish structure. Then floor should be processed solvent or to pass on it the grinder.
Further cracks and considerable gaps between the next boards are removed. For this purpose they are covered with putty. When the structure dries, floor will need to be processed drying oil or special primer. It is possible to use structures which contain antiseptic components. Then the wooden floor will be protected even better.
How to apply paint on wooden floor

Naturally, processing of hard-to-reach spots all the same will require narrow brush. It is desirable to close areas which are not required to be painted previously painting adhesive tape or just to paste on them polyethylene film.
Paint should be applied with thin layer as otherwise it can quickly peel off. In total at least 2 layers are necessary to receive qualitative result. Before the second layer is put, it is necessary to wait for full drying of the first. If painting is conducted by brush, the second coat of paint has to be put across the first.
