About 6 months ago i finished my one year project of remodeling our house, replaced all HD floor (1500sf), replaced all staircases to match to new floor (5 cases, build them in my garage), replaced railing in all house, replaced kitchen cabinets, tiles, new trims, paint, new wiring, etc. all of it by myself and now it's exactly what i have "Yikes I Have Problems!"
The wet "Bed Bath and Beyond" shopping bag, with stuff, was left on my floor for a couple of days, when I lift the bag i was shocked by the ink print that was left by this bag, you can see it on the picture. I guess the ink just penetrated into the floor finish, I tried to remove it with Acetone, VM&P Naphtha and Mineral Spirits, nothing works. My floor was finished with Bona Traffic satin. Probably i can try to send it and refinish but it will be my last option. Are there any other chemicals that i can use to remove this prints?
I would appreciate any help on this.



Zoomed version

If Naptha and acetone wont work , you will probably have to scuff the boards up with some 220 grit abrasive and then re coat those boards individually or as an area if you prefer. You wont have to sand to bare wood. But you may have to buy a full gallon of Traffic to accomplish this.

A full gallon of traffic can coat around 400 to 450 sq feet. It will cover 500 sq feet if you spread it out really thinly with a floor trim pad. So if you do buy a whole gallon, maybe it would be worth the effort to re coat a large portion of flooring if there is a good cut off point

I knew it was waterbase as soon as I saw it..hjad this happen on a job about 13 years ago or so.,

I had to hand sand it and recoat the area..nothing else worked..

dont know the science as to why...just is..most likely wouldnt have happened on oil base..

Ouch! that's the only my option to screen it and refinish again, well it is what it is, i was really hoping that there is some "magical" chemicals that will remove this print but looks like there is nothing better then sand paper
thank you for an advice.

2 things I would try first. May or may not work. Goo Gone..or MR. Clean Magic Eraser.

Just want to follow up on my progress.
Actually i did it without refinishing. First sand it with 220 grit sand paper, second random orbit with non-woven 320 grid polish pad, third random orbit with non-woven 600 grit polish pad. Worked as a charm, my floor has same satin shin, even with light reflection can't see a difference.

Nice, maybe thats the ticket for those etched glue spots.
