How to Remove on Hardwood
What you'll need:
- Bowl of water
- White cloth or paper towels
- Isopropyl Alcohol 70%, or odorless mineral spirits, or Goof Off
- pH neutral cleaner
- Scouring pad (Scotch-Brite™ pad= red only) or medium bristle brush
(Brillo pads are not recommended, some can be too abrasive)
STEP 1
Blot with towel to remove excess spill
STEP 2
Apply clean water to a fresh cloth to clean the area. Be careful not to saturate the floor.
STEP 3
Take a dry white cloth to rub the stained area to make sure there is no more transfer. If spot is still visible, lightly mist a pH neutral cleaner onto the floor and wipe up with a clean dry cloth.
STEP 4
If stain remains, lightly mist or pour a cap-full of isopropyl alcohol (or odorless mineral spirits or Goof Off) onto the affected area and leave for 1 minute.
STEP 5
After 1 minute, lightly agitate the area with either a red Scotch Bright pad or a medium bristle brush. Using a harsher material could damage the floor.
STEP 6
Apply clean water to a fresh cloth to clean the area. Be careful not to saturate the floor.
STEP 7
Take a dry white cloth to rub the stained area to make sure there is no more transfer. If transfer is still visible, repeat method.
STEP 8
If stain is no longer visible, it is important to follow up with a pH neutral cleaner in order to neutralize the cleaner that was used. Lightly mist a pH neutral cleaner onto the floor and wipe up with a clean dry cloth. Allow to air dry.
STEP 9
If the stain isn’t removed after following these steps, the plank or tile may need to be replaced. Contact your local retailer for additional information.
