After removal, we noticed black spots all over the floor. I have tried vinegar and water, all purpose cleaner, mineral spirits, wood soap and others but nothing seems to work. We really don't want to sand and refinish this floor. Any suggestions as to what we can do to get these marks off? My husband and I are in the process of removing carpeting from a bedroom.

I did all the sanding and then some but notice the living room still looked splotchy. I put the first layer of golden pecan stain on, thinking the white and black splotchy stains would be disguised. Well, they're not and now I have no idea what the stains are from or how to clean it. I am more than wiling to take all the stain of and redo the finish - I just wanna save my floors- HELP!

If I scrub it with ammonia it does come off. I mean a lot of hard scrubbing in a very small area. Is there any product out there that will take off the gunk and leave the finish? Thank you for any help. I am pooped. I have a ugly buildup on my sealed wood floor, it was some product I used that probably should not have.

There is black slate (I think) around the gas fireplace. I tried some soap with water but all it did was leave soap marks and did not clean whatever was spilled on it, any suggestions?

My floors needed to be refinished when I moved in, the finish is almost completely worn off (and in some places is.) I have no idea how long it has been since it was originally done. All of the products I have found say they are for finished floors only. Any suggestions would be helpful. Okay, so how do you clean unfinished hardwood floors?

I always dry it with a soft dry cloth before adding Old English. Getting down on your hands and knees is still the best way to truly get the floor the clean you want.
