This probably doesn't belong here, but I would love to know from any GWers what I did, and how I can do it again. I accidentally dropped on of those great tall glass thermometers (b'day present for DH) with the colored floating balls. About two cups' worth. All over my polyurethaned hundred-year old floors.
I frantically sopped up, and wiped and rinsed with water. The solution smelled like mineral spirits. (I found info which came with the therm. which said it was filled with an earth-friendly solvent.) The floors looked dull immediately after, and I feared for the worst.
BUT--a little while later when they dried, the floors were competely smooth and lustrous. Areas that were marred or scuffed-looking are gone. The patch where the spill took place now makes the rest of the floor look like it needs the same treatment.
Does anyone know what this is? Or can you tell me what I can use on the rest of the floor to duplicate this result?
TIA
