Removing stains on oak flooring...

[nickds1]

How can I put this tactfully

We went away for a few days and the cat decided to relieve itself in a couple of places on our lovely oak flooring...

I guess that the pee contains ammonia - consequently we have a couple of dark stains after the clearup - bit of an eyesore...

Is there any way to gently & chemically remove the stain - or it brute force the answer - obviously I don't want to physically damage the floor (though I might do that to the cat).

Any pointers gratefully received!

Thanks

Depending on the finish the stains are most likely to be from the water mixing with the tanins in the oak

You can bleach it out with oxalic acid


Edit for spelling

Scrape or bleach perhaps ? Without knowing the finish its a job to know

The finish is oiled (Osmo, I think).

I have some oxalic acid gel that I used to restore some blackened oak windows - I'll test that on a corner of the stain...
