How To Repair Hardwood Flooring Damaged By Cleaners?
2009 May 31
I was organizing my house and I have this bag of windex, clorax, pledge, you know the cleaning necessities, so I put it in my walk in closet (by the way the cleaning items was in a bag) and the next time I pulled it out my light wood hard wood flooring turned black. Can somebody please help/teach me to repair my floor without to much cost? Thanks Alot.
Im so desperate we can exchange aim screennames so I can take notes. Thanks

Depending on how much it has soaked in, you probably can get away with using a belt sander to remove the top layer of wood. Keep in mind that the chemicals from you cleaners are in the wood and you must wear a mask and protective eyewear. Renting a belt sander is relatively cheap and all you will need is the appropriate grit of sandpaper. Once you are down to wood, you can stain/seal it again. You will have to blend the area by sanding a larger portion than just the stain otherwise you will have a dip where the stain was.
