I believe my housecleaner left this on too long before spreading, left squirt marks on hardwoods. How can I remove those marks, any ideas?

Hi. We found the easiest way to remove small imperfections in the finish due to situations such as yours is to use Quick Shine Deep Cleaner. You can treat just the problem squirt mark areas and scrub to remove the marked area only. Then just rub a fresh swipe of finish over those areas and they will blend right in. Quick Shine Deep Cleaner. Should be able to find it on-line. Works amazingly perfect for your situation.

OK--Here's what I do. I just removed years of buildup with this method . I have parquet flooring that were dulled from of never really cleaning floor and tried many products- like Bono. Here's what I did-- I put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle undiluted. I sprayed it on a portion of floor to test it first. Spray on and let it sit for a few minutes. I used a little plastic curly pot scrubber in the direction of the grain and it practically lifted the accumulation by itself without a lot of pressure. Follow immediately with a slightly dampened microfiber cloth. I did my entire floor on my hands and knees using plain old alcohol. It evaporates very quickly and unlike water, will not damage wood. You will find that the old floor shine will form black "nubbies" which you swipe into a dustpan and brush. I carefully researched how-to's and found that windex works as well because it contains alcohol. The key ingredient here is the alcohol- just like the nurse rubs it on before a shot to remove skin oil and disinfect, it does the same on floor. This experience really changed my whole approach to hardwood maintenance. QucikShine is something I will never use again. It's not healthy for the wood. My alcohol stripped floors have a beautiful glow, and I will keep them that way by vacuuming up dust and swiffering often That's what the experts recommend. Twice a year is all the deep cleaning your floor needs to last a long time. Hope this helps. I'm crazy clean!

Oh no try doing a test patch using white vinegar mixed with water, but dry right way.It should strip the finish off.Good luck! I have tile thru out as I live in the tropics.

Have the same problem. I am thinking it may be the bruce floor cleaner. I changed to bona, and not quite as streaked.

Run lacquer thinner , mineral spirits or water thru it depending on the paint you used. If not sure use thinner ...it doesn't clog quickly but you can buy replacements. I have not had to...it also should remove and clean with the bristle brush...haven't had to do that either but have painted a lot with no problems.

Use bartenders friend or any non scratching scouring powder to remove the spots. I'm not sure, but I think that these spots come from hard water.

Hi,I scrubbed mine with comet cleanser and then I went to bed bath and beyond and got the SQUARE stick on, they work great, the stips did not work but the squares did. Just make sure that the tub is rinsed clean of all chemicals and dry it with the hair dryer. They will work great.Hope this helps. My tub was so slippery, i fell last year.Kathy

This product works well on our bamboo flooring, but I don't leave it on long. Just spray, then wipe up.

I just made the mistake of picking up "polish" rather than "cleaner". My floor is ruined. Fortunately, I had only done a section of floor. I am reading now what to do about it. Can't believe how many "mad" people there are who already ruined their floors---never again. Once they are fixed- think I will try the ammonia/water mix. Wish me luck-- Goodbye Bona!!!!!

I squirt it on vacuumed hardwood floor (little areas at a time) - take a wet cloth and rub it on the floor - take towel and dry the area.

I apply it straight from the bottle onto the floor. The directions say: "Squirt cleaner directly onto the floor in an 'S' pattern in a 3-4 foot area. Use product full strength; do not add water. Mop floor using a damp, well-wrung out mop." (partial instructions) Hope that helps!

Try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. That usually works to get sticky stuff off of things.

Try this and see if it helps. Dip pan in dish water. Pour out excess water. Sprinkle either Cameo (my favorite) or Barkeepers Friend in pan. Using a dry paper towel, scrub pan. This should remove marks. Do NOT use Brillo or SOS pads as they will scratch the finish.

I used this on my granite counters and grout lines on floor tiles. I applied it using a foam brush, waited about 5-10 mins, and wiped off the excess with a clean towel. I did not wipe off on the grout lines.

I don't think it'll remove those, it's just for quick cleaning. If there is a mark for example from hair dye, I could recommend to make a paste out of peroxide and baking soda and carefully rub the spot. For another floor damages there are different types of treatments on the market. Hope it'll help.

You could also try nail polish remover. Dab the spot until it is dissolved and then launder.

Wipe it down with a used fabric softener sheet. Gets rid of any soap scum, water deposits, etc. Probably easier on the surface than toothpaste too.

Why remove it? If you use a wax stripper, it may damage your laminate. Try a vinegar & water wash first. If that doesn't work, try ammonia and water, but it may dull the finish on your floor

time and ease. I used a few Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and had cleaner wax to rub it off. Good luck.
