I have ruined my hardwood floor by leaving a plastic shopping bag with a bathroom cleaner containing bleach in it overnight. I didn’t realize it but the bottle had a small leak and has bleached part of the stain off of the hardwood floors. It has also smeared into a dark stain on part of it also like a swirl. Is there anything that I can do other than re staining that part of the floor?

I have just moved into a house which is 55 years old. I have oak floors which have been sanded down but no protective coating on them. A large plant that I have has now left water stains on the oak and I am wondering how to remove the water stains. What do you suggest?

We have about an 80 year old house and it has what I assume to be oak hardwood flooring. The flooring is textured. When we were in the process of moving in a full can of latex flat white paint got tipped over and the top came off. Almost the entire can of paint spilled onto the floor. We cleaned up a much as we could but some of it soaked into the “groove” in the textured flooring and I can’t get it out. I’ve tried water and below grease, ******, WD-40, and light scraping. I don’t care if the floors need recoating. I just need the paint up. Any ideas?

We had a blackout in 10 Counties in Texas last month, which caused my 140 gallon Salt water reef tank, to reverse siphon the water out of the tank and onto my 1.5 year old Hardwood (Red Oak) floors. The water was on the floors for approximately 2-3 hours. The floors appear to be slightly buckled, and I can see all of the wood grain now very pronounced in the floor. What is the best way to have these restored or refinished?

My daughter left a dish on the floor and it left a white circle (from the moisture). How can I get that out? I’m not sure what kind of finish we have. I know the house was built in 1959.
