So, we were appalled that anyone would paint hardwood floors white.
But then we rented the drum sander and now it's abundantly clear why
they painted them. 2-3 patches of animal pee stains. Now that we've
gone to all of this trouble, work, and money, I really don't want to
have to lay carpet down or paint the floor again. Does anyone have
any alternatives? Bleach? A dark stain? The floors are oak. Anyone
who comes up with an idea that A) we use and B) works, will receive
$5. How exciting! Get in your ideas now!
(Thank you, I'm grovelling, and desperate,

Cut out the stains - replace w/ a marquee.

We had the same problem. We simply left the stains, and describe them
as part of the house's "character". Since it was built in 1880, it's
entitled to a few odd areas.
