Refinishing A Wood Floor With Dark & Nasty Stains (What to do about it?)

- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Do you ever see dark black, green, or brown stains on a wood floor? This is pretty common. It’s usually the result of 1 of three things.
1. Dog urine
2. Cat urine
3. Chemicals
If it sits on the hardwood floor, especially under a rug or carpet where it can’t evaporate or get cleaned up, it soaks deep within the pores of a hardwood floor. The old homes where the hardwoods were covered by carpet for many years are always the ones with the most staining.
In this video, we are finishing an old red oak floor where there is extreme staining throughout the flooring planks. We will talk about the different methods for dealing with these dark stains or spots on your wood floor. The main methods are using some type of chemical compound to remove them, replacing the wood itself, or staining the wood dark.
We have dealt with these dark stains on wood floors for many years and know exactly what to do. Watch this video now so that you know what to do about staining or discoloration in your hardwoods.

That transformation is amazing! Awesome job
Thank you, glad you like it!
Beautiful job on those floors! My house is a former rental property and when I pulled the carpet I found dog urine stains everywhere on the oak. My floor finisher suggested we go with Ebony stain, and while it wasn't my first choice, I've grown to love the color.
Thanx for explaining everything so well!! Beautiful work!!! So many say refinished floors are used to save money but the work involved is recognized and the beauty, to me, exceeds a “new” floor. Also, thank you for explaining the rug, because it looked up like a pile of dry pigment with dark liquid, going into it, and then the buffer dipping into it, which made no sense to me, because it would’ve left a huge stain because of saturation and then it was noted that it was actually a rug under there - genius!
Wow, fantastic floors and work!
Thank you!!
That is superb well done lads, best wishes from 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Really beautiful colour on that stain
Hey Lumberjack. Do you have any references in Louisiana? Btw, where are you guys located?
Beautiful work
Wow. Awesome Job.
Put lye in water and apply with paint pad as soon you finish do it again. Wait 24 hours and sand with 150. The lyr reacts with the tannins making the wood dark but also lightens the stains. Now you can apply your stain and won't have to go as dark as that.
Looks amazing!!
When is a filler used and why would one choose to use it OR not use it?
Wow! What kind of wood is the floor? Also what products did you use?
You used a 220grit screen for intercoat abrasion. Do you ever have any high spots that the screen goes past the seal coat, removing small amounts of stain? Also, in the room with the worst stains around the return vent, have you ever seen curling at the seam/crack? If so, is this a reaction between the top coat and something in the wood? Or excess stain that fills that void and can't be removed interfering, creating this subtle curl on the edges of the crack. Hope this resonates with you, and you have some insight. Thanks
Hi, did you try clear Iodine tincture to remove urine? A few drops in water, let it soak over night and then remove it with water & dishwashing liquid. Against the smell Vodka works, too. 😉👍
Is that a Mirka orbital sander you're using around the base? If so, do you find that orbital sander to be better/faster than a festool orbital sander?
What about oxylic acid?
TIP: Clean, neutralize and lighten stains no matter what you do, because they will continue to get darker.
Oxalic acid "wood bleach" can get rid of many stains that look impossible. It's always worth trying.
I was wondering if they were going to try oxalic acid to lighten the stains.
Oxalic acid never worked for me
@@barttrahan7037 It's my first choice because it gets many water stains out. After that is peroxide, the strong stuff from the beauty supply store.
And then I say, "patina and a rustic floor".
What kind of orbital are you using to smooth the edging? I’ve been looking for a better tool for that final pass?
Hey guys what's that white stuff your using on the floor ,it reminds me of something ,is it handmade or bough 😅😅😅😅😅
Do you guys operate in NY by chance?
Does the Bona flexisand require an additional buff (100-120grit hardplate)? I have the American Sanders Epoch with the Hydrasand attatchment (80grit red heat), and it seems to leave 2-3"micro scratches that can be seen when close enough, i.e.. most noticeable when you're wiping up the excess stain after application..but you can also see them subtly when standing upright looking down at the floor. To remedy this I have to use the hardplate with a 100-120 grit screen (one extra step). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
😂 I CAN’T AFFORD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL JOB. WOW. (HERE AFTER A BASKETBALL COURT SHORT. SUB’D.) WOW.
Do you use wood filler? It seem that it had bug gaps
I also do flooring and the job looks great from what I can tell in the video. I also noticed the gaps and the only thing I can think of why it was not filled is because the costumer didn't want it filled. I've done floors where they didn't want it filled because they were going for a rustic/old look or the floors had too much flex and it would just pop out.
Yeah idk . Everything but kitchen and bathroom im putting carpet on it.
That’s disgusting
