Best answer
If your going to carpet over the top of floorboards give it a good wash and put newspaper underneath the underlay

agreed. Brush with stiff brush. Mop with hot water. Clean surface dirt. And carpet down on top.

I used to hoover mine with attachment especially between the gaps give a good mop, then mop again with some bleach or dettol in the water the night before the carpet was being fitted.

Yes i agree, sanding is your best option with floorboards. Not a particularly clean job though unless you can hold off until you're able to hire a proper floor sander
