Removing semen stains from wooden floor (Need help)

In two rooms of my home, there are about six tiny white ‘circles’ where semen droplets landed. The semen was cleaned, but not fast enough: they stained the floor.

You can’t seem them in the daytime, but at night when the lights are on they’re very visible. I’d really, really like to get rid of these. Scrubbing and Pledge did nothing .

What product can I use to get these out or make them less obvious? The wood is very orangey, ‘medium’ colored. The feel is very smooth. Can’t get much more technical than that.

Please help!

I’d go with sandpaper.

I would call a hardwood floor contractor in the area. We had some significant damage to the floor in one room, but found someone to fix it for $100 with a free estimate. Minor discoloration should be a simpler cheaper fix.

Solution 2: hold a massive orgy to discolor the entire floor.

Any other home remedies? Is it worth looking into other cleaning solutions (vinegar? I’m pretty clueless) or are more drastic measures the only likely option?

I wont help if you dont offer the story behind that.

Murphy’s Oil Soap should take it out.
For carpets, use white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.

Sandpaper and some touchup stain would be my DIY remedy. And maybe next time you’ll swallow, mmkay?

Hydrogen peroxide worked for … when… uh… a friend had to do the same thing.

Sorry about the mess, OP.

Actually, most wood floor professionals * strongly * discourage the use of Murphy’s Oil Soap, particularly in cases like this where a refinish might be in the future.

The basic idea is that when you clean a wood floor, you’re really cleaning the polyurethane on top of it. And oil soap leaves a residue that will clog a sander and cause future finishes not to adhere well. So vinegar and water is a better choice for cleaning.

Wouldn’t hydrogen peroxide make it much worse?

After all, the floor has become lighter, not darker (well, at least viewed under artificial light).

It would be an extremely small part of the floor, so making refinishing slightly more challenging is not a concern of mine. My main concern is efficacy: if Pledge doesn’t work, why would Murphy Oil Soap?

Are you renting the place or do you own it. Because when you try to explain what happened to your landlord…

Seconded, as I believe it works on proteins.
