Pet stains and hardwood flooring

Friday, July 29th, 2005

My husband and I are considering laying parquet flooring in our living room and removing the carpet b/c our dog cannot seem to stop staining the carpet. We feel hardwood would be better but after reading your website I see that pet stains are a problem with hardwood. Is there a way that we can protect the wood after it is laid to prevent the urine from soaking into the wood in case we do not find it quickly?

Getting black stains out

My husband and I recently purchased an older home and were hoping to refinish the floors after pulling up the carpet. It is oak flooring. Is there anything that I can use to get the black stains out?

Black spots all over old floors

We recently bought a house built in the 1920′s. We removed the carpet to find that there are black stains all over the hardwood floors. We have sanded the floors and the stains are still there. How can we remove them without knowing what caused them?
