I left a bucket with clothes cleaning solution on our maple floor. Now there is a dark ring on the floor. How do I get it out?

We recently had our pine hardwood floors sanded, stained, and poly’d. Along the perimeter of the walls (about 6 or 8″) or so, the stain is much lighter. There is a clearly seen demarcation. What is this due to? The contractor said it was from build up over the years of wax, etc. around the edges of the room. I was wondering if different sanding or staining techniques had caused this.

I have just had my upstairs pine floors professionally refinished after removing carpet. Afterwards, there were think blackish lines through the middle of the floor. The refinisher said that this was due to the floor being cut when the carpet was installed and it cannot be sanded any further. Basically, there is nothing he can do. Any perspective?

We just removed carpeting in an old house we purchased and the hardwood floors look good. However, the underpad to the carpet was orange and it caused the floors to take on a darker tint. Do I have to get them refinished or can I just clean with vinegar and water or some other hardwood floor cleaner?
