Hi, I've recently recoated interior wood doors with a wood stain (oak). After about 3 month started seeing white stains all around the coated areas.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Vlad
Is the door employed as an intern?
Curious--is a "cool mist" impeller type humidifier, or an ultrasonic humidifier in use in the house?
These leave mineral dust around if used with tap water...along with other nasties.
Best Regards,

What products/process was used to finish these doors? In particular, were the products oil or water based?
I'm also curious what happens if you wipe those white areas with a little mineral spirits? You should probably try this only in a very inconspicuous area.
It looks a little like water/steam damage but that seems improbable unless this pic is from a bathroom/kitchen (or you have a serious moisture problem in your home).
Thanks everyone for replies.
I don't think this is a water damage since the picture is taken at the
2-nd floor room. Moreover I don't see the issue at the basement.I do use humidifier in bedroom, however I can say I see the stains all over the floor, way beyond the humidified area.
What mineral spirits will be a good try?
Thanks, Vlad
