I have some dark water stains on my hardwood oak flooring that I would
want to remove. I read here that oxalic acid is a good way to approach
this.

The problem is I cannot find any. At Home Depot they looked at me like
I awas from another planet and had never heard of it.

Does it perhaps have another name so I can find some?


TIA


Ingredient in some rust removers.


Barkeeper's Friend contains oxalic acid. You could make a slurry of it
with water. It is also slightly abrasive. It will take dark stains out of
wooden countertops. Of course, whatever course you try, you will most
likely have to refinish those areas. Most any product will damage the top
finish to get at the stain.
