If you're in a bind and they look a mess (guests are arriving in an hour type bind!), you could take a butter knife and wet cloth (soft, old t-shirt kind) and lightly run the cloth-wrapped-knife between every few boards.

Sanding IS brutal.. but once tackled, can look incredible! Could be a potentially good winter project.. ;)
