I have dark rings on my wood floor from water that wasn't cleaned up. Will this help remove them and restore the original finish?

I didn't use this on water-damaged cabinets and furniture, but we just pulled up carpeting and discovered several water stains, most likely from canine urine, which darkened the oak floors. I used steel wool and Duraseal Cleaner and waxer which really didn't help. On the large area I used a bleaching product, and even after several applications it didn't clear it up. I finally scraped with a razor and sanded lightly which only lightened it a bit. What is really needed is a deeper sanding and refinishing. Not doing it at this point. Hope this helped. I do really love this product for its advertised purposes. Did a beautiful job on evening out my mom's walnut kitchen cabinets, 50 years old, after using the Howard cleaner.

I can't say for sure but it did quite well on our oak diningroom table.For the cost it's worth a try.

I have wood floors that were damaged by my 10 year old dragging a chair back and forth over the same area many, many times.. the floors were actually almost white where the scratches were... I wiped this stuff over the area, and the worn areas were gone! It was a bit shiny for a day... and now a month later.. no scratches.. and no obvious marks around where the Restor-A-Finish was used.

I assume you are talking about scratches to a real hardwood floor. Well it also depends how deep the scratches are. If you have an old floor then you probably have a darkened floor due to wax buildup. If the scratches have just gone thru that then you can do either of two things 1) keep putting you floor cleaner on and more so over the scratches, over a period of time it too will buildup and darken and cover the scratches. 2) Use Simple Green and rub the wax around the scratches and blend it in to the rest of the floor. Simple Green works like a slow acting wax remover so you will have time to blend it. If the scratches have gone thru the finish and are down into the wood then you have to start matching up wood stain with the color of the rest of the floor. All of these are more art then anything else..it's trial and error. Usually dogs and hardwood don't match well. A dog is better suited to a tile floor. But if that is what you have and scratches are a concern, you will eventually become a pro at this.

probably not. you should contact the chemical's manufacturer or a flooring expert. wood stains I think are a different problem because of the materials being treated.

I doubt it. Why are you using the light wood polish? I used the dark cover polish on my dark cherry floors and it didnot change the color, but brightened it up. The scratch came out darker however.

My home has 50 year old wood floors that had a decent number of water spots. This product help to decrease the visibility of those spots. I am guessing it would not do a ton to cover the darkened areas or help even out the raised areas. It is a very thin coat of polyurethane that scratches easily even with multiple coats. It would give the floors a nice shine and help to fill in small scratches and give a bit of a barrier for future water but that's about it. I have spilled water on my coated floor and it leaves a very obvious water spot in the finish.

I used it on polyurethane finish hardwood floors. Love it, bring out the beauty again. I have dogs and they bring in sand which was taking the finish off where they laid down. I only use it about every other month and it lasts a long time. Highly recommend.

Hi Cindy, I have no clue. I know ketchup will remove some stains from bronze.I purchased the boston polish specifically for wood.

It depends on the depth of the stain. These remove an extremely small layer. You also need to seal granite every 6 months to avoid stains.

yes, we had a dark water stain which was removed with one application. we gave it a second application just to ensure we did not miss anything. the stain removal was almost instant with the first application. we highly recommend this product.

Effectively Mold KillerTM will destroy mold on floor joists, in plywood, stone and in concrete too, plus protect the treated area from rebirth. As far as the dark stain goes, if the mold has been existing for a long period, then you may have to use our "Black Mold Stain Remover". Occasionally Mold KillerTM does not totally remove the stain alone. Some "conditions" also allow for very resistant stains. We estimate that Mold KillerTM does remove stains in about 95% of the projects it is applied to.Jay

There's a special solution just for wood floors. The bottle is brownish in color. I think it's a new product. I tried it, and it's better than using the regular cleaner on it.

yes it removed the polish from my laminate wood flooring. But it took 3 times as much as recommended and lots of scrubbing. Count on plenty of effort and time to get it done.

Don't know, the piece I cleaned didn't have grease or oil stains. I used it to remove the gray patina that happens to teak when left out in the elements!

I am not sure about old wood floors. I had tile floors that was very old and the build up was terrible the tile looked dirty. After using Trewax Instant Wax remover it is like having new tiles. I was going to get a new kitchen floor but I decided not to. This product is amazing!

I can be used to take a light oxidation off a ring when it starts to tarnish/lose the original brilliance, but you have to work at it. I was able to bring the luster back on my wedding ring (tungsten) after about 25 minutes using some elbow grease.

It was brilliant re cleaning blackened grout. Don't know about yellowed, but think it's worth a try. Recommend using a sealer after using the cleaner.
