removing bleach stain from oak
A bottle of chlorine bleach sat on my oak floor. Turns out there was
bleach on the bottom of the bottle. Now the floor has dried but the bleach left behind what appear to be white deposits in the pores. (The rest of the wood appears unaffected.) Chlorine bleach is not supposed to lighten wood, but the effect of all those white pores in the oak when viewed from afar is an unsightly white ring. I was told when I bought the house that the floor was finished with a "swedish" finish, whatever that means. So is there anything I can do to fix this or make it less striking? |

Swedish finish sounds like Latin for $$$.
Your floor is probably finished with poly. That is very difficult, if not impossible to match up very well. Do a little reading: http://www.woodfloorsonline.com/cons...chasehome.html Depending on the room size, you are looking at a sanding and refinishing the entire room. The wood is not harmed, the finish is the problem. The other choice is a location problem. If the ring can be covered with a rug or furniture, that's the easy choice. Bleach has to be treated with great respect in a home. wrote: A bottle of chlorine bleach sat on my oak floor. Turns out there was bleach on the bottom of the bottle.
