Parquet floors are made of small pieces of wood which makes sanding and staining them much harder....and if they are very worn.. they may not be refinish-able.... you may want to have a floor refinisher do the job.... HomeAdvisor.com or Angieslist.com can give you verified referrals .. get several estimates... they will be able to tell you if the floors can be refinished or need to be replaced.
