Hardwood floor ???
Is there any way to remove stains or such from hardwood floors? We had some car soap that unexpectedly spilled on our hardwood and since it was unexpected, we didn't find out until today. It left a nice stain on it. Any way to get it off? If y'all don't know of any ways then I guess I'll just try some and let you know if any work! ;-)

If it has a polyurathane finish, like a car clearcoat you're okay. If it's a wax finish, which is common you may have to sand it down to the natural wood, re-stain it and wax it.
You'll be able to tell if it's a poly finish with a nice shine to it.

I think it is the original floor in the house and the house is in the Highpoint Terrace area. I think it was built in 56'. So I am guessing natural wood? I guess well try to get it up somehow and then work on it later too.

Don't use water whatever you do, that will only stain it more. Just wipe up what you can and repair it when you can.

Good luck. If you need a professional, Midtown Hardwood is pretty good and honest.

Wrote that down. I imagine that if we can't get it up now then I'll wait until we are about ready to sell and get them to do it then. It wouldn't be but another year or so.

Be careful! I would hate to see what would happen if it were unnatural wood.
