Wooden floors add warmth and elegance to any space, but they can be susceptible to stains from spills, foot traffic, and everyday wear and tear. Knowing how to effectively remove these stains is essential for maintaining the beauty of your wood flooring and ensuring its long-lasting appeal.

In this guide, we’ll share practical tips on using the right wood stain remover and Treatex floor care products to restore your floors to their former glory. Whether you're dealing with tough stains or just regular maintenance, Treatex offers solutions that are gentle yet effective.

Identify the Type of Stain

Before tackling a stain, it’s crucial to identify its type, as the type of stain will help you choose the most effective removal method. Common stains include:

  • Water Stains: Often caused by spilt drinks or wet shoes.

  • Oil Stains: Typically come from food spills, such as cooking oil or greasy residues.

  • Ink Stains: Usually result from pens or markers being accidentally dropped on the floor.

  • Pet Stains: Caused by pet accidents, which can leave both a stain and an odour.

Knowing the type of stain is the first step in choosing the right solution and avoiding unnecessary damage to your floors.

Use the Right Wood Stain Remover

Once you know the type of stain, it’s time to select a suitable wood stain remover. For general stains, a high-quality cleaner can work wonders. Here at Treatex, we offer a range of wooden floor products designed to clean, restore, and maintain your flooring without damaging the finish.

For Water Stains

Mix a solution of equal parts vinegar and water. Dampen a cloth with the mixture and gently rub the stain. Wipe dry with a clean cloth and check if the stain has lifted.

For Oil Stains

Sprinkle baking soda on the stain, then dampen it with a few drops of water. Let it sit for a few hours, then gently scrub it with a soft cloth and wipe it clean.

For Ink Stains

Use a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol. Dab the ink stain gently until it lifts. Be careful not to saturate the wood; excess moisture can cause damage.

For Pet Stains

Clean the area with a solution of mild dish soap and water. Blot the area with a cloth until the stain lifts, then rinse with clean water.
