I am currntly underway refinishing parquet floors. I used oxalic acid (wood bleach) to get out the black water (or whatever) stains and it worked quite well. I followed directions for the first application but it was not strong enough so I re-applied mixing the solution to double strength and letting it air dry instead of neutralizing and it worked very well. I had a VERY dark stain to get out. @kathy izral: I had not heard of the linseed oil treatment. I am currntly underway refinishing parquet floors.

It has had become water stained and looks black in some places. Can we still stain or use the linseed oil to regain the finish? And when we sand the bathroom if we have to, would we have to sand the enitre floor to be sure the stains match once we begin staining?

What's the minimum thickness for sanding? I have 1/4" thick, 6-finger white oak parquet, glued down to cement. It was installed in my apartment in the 1970's. Thanks. Hi.

I sanded those squares and then went over with stain. Problem, I got carried away and stain lots more squares (without sanding). Now the stain is still tacky and shiny, it doesn' just wipe up. How to I correct this problem, how do I remove the stain that won't penetrate. I need to repair several tiles of our parquet flooring. I sanded those squares and then went over with stain.

Apply raw linseed oil with a brush every few days until it will not soak up anymore. Wipe off excess. Your floor will be beautiful! @sari:

I'm willing to sand however I have worn paths throughout. The wood is discolored a weathered gray in those areas. I've sanded patches by hand but it still looks soiled. I like the color and the house is so small I don't know if it can handle a darker stain. Any solutions? Wow.Thanks.3/4s of my house is ‘oak’ parkay flooring.
