Q: After getting mold remediation done in a small room in my home, I noticed my dark stained wood floor has areas on some planks that are now noticeably lighter in color. Could the remediation process have caused this?
The floor was last sanded and stained in 2013.
A: Not knowing what they did or used I have no way to formulate a response. I don’t think they could do anything to change the colour of the stain without also seriously disturbing the finish that sits on top.
Webmaster’s note: if you have any ideas do share! Thanks!
