Does anyone know how to remove deep stains from hardwood floors? We sanded and stains are still there. Stains are also to deep to hide with dark wood stain.

    Sanding with a vibrating-type sander (a palm sander, for example) is the best way to remove the stain. Do not use a belt sander: Its power is so great that you can ruin the floor before you realize it.

    Start with medium (100-grit) sandpaper, then finish with fine (150-grit) sandpaper.

    After you sand the stain away, vacuum up the dust. Wipe the area with a cloth dampened with mineral spirits if you’re using oil-based stain. Dampen the cloth with water for latex stain.

    The next step is to stain the sanded area to match the rest of the floor. Finding just the right stain color probably will require mixing different color stains. Buy two or three cans of stain that are close to the color of the floor and start experimenting.

    Test the colors on a piece of sanded, unstained wood that is the same species as your floor. Check for a match while the stain is still wet — that gives the best idea of what the stain will look like when it has been covered with polyurethane.

    If the color is not quite right, alter it by mixing in lighter or darker stain. Mix only oil-based with oil-based and latex (water-based) with latex.

    When the stain is dry, coat the floor with polyurethane according to manufacturer’s instructions.
