Stained oak parquet flooring

Nov 18, 2004 4 Replies

I have some oak parquet flooring that had some water soak onto it and it caused some dark stains in some areas. I seem to recollect reading at some time a remedy involving bleach(? maybe) and somehow soaking it, but I do not remember the exact formula or process.



Does anyone happen to remember this fix?



TIA.

oxalic acid, not bleach. you can get it in home depot in the paint department, or it is the main (only?) ingrediant in barkeepers friend, a cleaning supply.

ok - thanks. So I just mix up some of this, soak a cloth and lay it on top of it for awhile? I guess until it is all a uniform color?

it's a powder. you make a paste of it and apply to the area of floor, and remove when it is faded enough.
