Buy a dust mask with a great seal and replaceable filters and rent a floor sander from True Value (or whatever equipment rental place is in your area,) and prepare for a lot of sanding, vacuuming and sanding again. I have done it and it is a pain, but it really clears the floor up nicely. Keep in mind, you’ll have to match stain and finish again.
