Can you use nail polish remover get mildew stains out of hardwood floors?

In: Cleaning [Edit categories]

Answer:

The nail polish remover will discolor the wood since it is an acid. You need to kill the mildew. You could apply a mixture of bleach and water to kill the mildew but don't let it stay on the wood for too long because the bleach is an acid also. If the stain remains, you will probably have to sand down and refinish the wood. You may try to brush on a light colored stain to the wood which may cover the mildew stain after you kill it.
