Acclimatisation \ Gap filling Floor Sanding
At least two weeks before you plan to sand a restore an old floor, Bath floor sanding would ask for the carpets to be lifted.
For two reasons:

This gives the chosen gap filling method the best chance of working as the gaps in floorboards will increase as the boards dry and the filler will fall out.
