Re: remive stain from real tember flooring

Hi @muna 

 

You can try  as more extreme measures

 Rubbing Alcohol

:: Tea Tree Oil

:: Nail Polish Remover

 

It depends on the stain as to  effectiveness

worst case lightly sand the area but  that will need re sealing afterwards.

Are the marks from a ball-point pen @muna?

Hi @muna,

 

It's great to see you've already received some helpful suggestions. I've just tried @Jewelleryrescue's suggestion of nail polish remover(Acetone), and it takes ball-point pen marks straight off timber floors. Remember your PPE including a facemask, safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.
