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

I don't think this is a good idea for wood. If it does remove the
water stain, it will leave unsightly marks. Have you tried
mayonnaise? If that doesn't work, a refinishing floor job is in your
future.
