This is a recurring problem with wooden floors , especially when they start to get older. The process is quite simple and is within everyone's reach. Simply locate the squeaky blade and place a weight on it to press it against the joist which holds this part of the floor. Then, the joist can be detected using a detector or a hammer. The sound is more muffled when you are above the joist. All you have to do is screw the blade to the joist in the necessary places. Make sure to screw in deeply so you can then apply a wood filler that you sand to hide the screw head.

These are two schools and one is not better than the other. The choice depends on the use and the desires of the owners. Oil, as much as varnish, has advantages and disadvantages that must be taken into account before choosing.
