does anyone have advice for lightening black stains in hardwood floors?
any chemicals that is known to work?
Or any useful websites that have examples of before and after type pics.?
Its called Oxyclean., I redid the floors in the old house by sanding with the Varathane sander from Lowes.
Dark stains will come off with Oxyclean, with repeat
applications. Treat spots first. I do the whole floor also. Its only difficult to predict the final outcome with
clean polyurathane. I did not use stain. After I painted the living room I hated it, but
after a couple days the whole look changed. I can't say why, but it looked nice.
I also had stains where the padding melted, or did some kind of change. it actually
expanded producing rises in the old rug orginally covering the floor.
Add a couple tables spoons full to a couple gallons and mop the area. Let completly dry first
before more applications. This also gets rid of pet odor stains and smell..
