Hello,
My house has wood floors.
My dog spills alot of water all over the place when he drinks, and
near his bowl its damaged the flooor.
The cracks between tiles have blackend.
Whats the fix for this?
Is there a way to remove and relace a few tiles?
Or does the while thing need to be sanded down?

Heres a pic of the floor:

Thanks!
The only way to know if you can sand that out would be to get a belt
sander and try.

It is possible to lift sections of floor. That is tongue and groove
floor. Each strip has a tongue that goes into a groove on the side of
the adjacent piece. It's a real pain. A lot of installers will just
lift the floor all the way from the end. It's possible to saw out
sections if you are good but you need to be good.


And oxalic acid is used for wood bleaching. Available at real paint
stores. It would need to be sanded anyway to get the finish off so the
acid can work. May end up being a bigger mess than what you already have.
Probably will since you call them tiles vs wood verbage. Definitely more
work than you plan.
