How to Remove   on Hardwood

What you'll need:


  1. Bowl of water
  2. White cloth or paper towels
  3. Isopropyl Alcohol 70%, or odorless mineral spirits, or Goof Off
  4. pH neutral cleaner
  5. 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.
