I gave it a go with white spirit and a large plastic abrasive pad (like
a large pan scourer) and it's coming up a treat. You're not wrong about
the elbow grease, though

A light sanding will then even out the colour, but remember parquet can be
quite thin. I'd use a random orbit sander rather than a belt sander.


OK.

Great - thanks.
