cleaning black spots from floor??

[TOM KAN PA]

I know this has been asked before, but what's the best and safest way for cleaning black spots from hardwood floors? Without damaging the finish on the the wood.

is that from a spill or is it a mold?

Have you tried a dab of neat washing up liquid or neat wood floor cleaner?

____Reply Separator_____ Available in the states? Is this the same company that makes neat's-oot oil, the same stuff we conditioned our baseball gloves with a long time ago?

WE? I have never SEEN a baseball glove! and I can't work out if you're teasing me. :)

neat's-foot oil A pale yellow, fatty oil produced by boiling the feet and shin bones of cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs, and skimming the oil from the surface of the water. Like all natural fats, neat's-foot oil is a mixture of substances, many of which deposit on cooling. "Cold-tested" neat's-foot oil is a material that has been held at the freezing point for a period of time and then filtered. Neat's-foot oil is used in the preparation of some leather dressings, and in the fatliquoring of leather.

you use neat brandy to clean the floor?

I have been in the wood floor business for over 30 years. Water and a little rubbing often works wonders. Rubbing alcohol also can work well. Acetone is another possibility. The problem is not knowing what the finish is on your floor. You need to test the compatibility with the cleaner in a closet or corner before using it in a high visibility area.
