Once the floor covering is up you'll find the wood floor under it covered with hard bits of cement, felt and linoleum. These can usually be removed with a hand scraper and water, but If you want to save time, rent an electric floor sander and let it clean 'em up for you. In any event, don't try laying any flooring down until the old surface has been smoothed and cleaned up.
