There is a Swedish product available here in the U.K. called Donner (I may
have the spelling incorrect).
It is water-based and easy to apply.
You just slosh it over the floor and it dries in a few hours.
You need to apply three coats and after the third has dried, it is even more
robust than the poly products.
They have also designed sander with an integral vacuum which works very
efficiently. The only trouble is that it is heavy and requires two people
to lift it.

Unless you have darn good sight I don't recommend you take this on.
Scrubbing the old finish off can be done fairly well with a belt sander if
you don't mind a load of time on your hands & knees however the better way
to do this is with a drum sander and this takes great care. It will grind
off a lot of floor in a big hurry so you must lower the drum while moving
and raise it while still moving, don't dare touch the wall.
You then finish sand wit a large pad sander but this is more practical as
the machine is much gentler. You will need a belt edge sander to get in
close to walls.
Then you vacuum and vacuum and vacuum some more to remove absolutely all the
dust. Often you will want to install some sort of plastic air locks to
isolate the room and keep the dust from infiltrating everything in the
house.
You then begin applying coats of the rapid drying Poly. This wants to go on
evenly and fairly quickly. It takes several hours between coats and you
polish off any dust nibs and fly droppings which have settled into the
finish as it was drying. You vacuum this clean and what ever else you can
get off of the walls so it doesn't fall into the finish, probably damp wipe
it down and double check for any hairs or threads then apply another coat
again rapidly and evenly so the finish doesn't have bubbles, brush marks or
puddles.
You repeat this until you have several coats before returning the room to
use.
You will need to remove all furnishing of course and rent most of the fancy
sanding machines and you might prefer to rent or otherwise acquire a vacuum
cleaner which can be set up outside so the exhaust isn't blowing any dust
about to later rain out into the finish.
If properly done the floors will look beautiful. If poorly done they will
look: Well they will look poorly done.
