Stains on wood floor

If you have stubborn stains on wax-finished floors, apply a drop of paint thinner to a very fine steel-wool pad. Gently rub the area until the marks fade. Apply 1 tsp paste wax (specially formulated for wood floors) to a clean sponge and buff the spot. To clean water spots and scuffs, skip the paint thinner. Never use steel-wool on polyurethane floors since this will remove the protective finish!
