Help! Electric heater tipped over and scorched some boards

no idea how to remove the scorch. Your advice welcome!


You probably can't do it without refinishing the floor. If it's
just the floor finish that got scorched, you're lucky. You can
scrape or sand it, then do a touch-up patch of the floor finish.
If the wood is scorched, you'll either have to sand, scrape or
bleach the wood - the last being the most difficult to control and
the least likely to give results that will blend in with the rest
of the floor.

Another alternative for the OP is replacement of the scorched boards.
