How to remove and dry out water stains from engineered ( not laminate , not true hardwood) wood floors?
If it's a water stain (which means it used to be water but has now dried up and has left an ugly mark on the floor), and if your wood floor is sealed or laminated, you can try rubbing out the stain with dryer sheets. Wet the dryer sheets (but not to the extent of them dripping) and rub them directly onto the stain.
It all depends on what you like. If you like the look of hardwood don't waste your time looking at laminate you will not like it. Laminate is actually stronger than wood, so if you have kids or big dogs laminate will hold up a lot better. Some people say laminate can't get wet or it will get ruined only if water gets under the floor water on the surface is fine and it will hold water longer than wood. I just find wood to look more elegant, and it does add more value to your home than laminate. Hope this helps.
Let it air dry & sand with sandpaper.
How to remove dark water stains on the wood floor joints
ok, so I'm trying to figure out your question....if it's a water stain then it's dry already and doesn't need dried out. If you have a stain of any kind then the wood might need to be sanded and revarnished. You should never use water on wood. If the floor is varnished then you'd only use a mop that's dampened with cold water or just a dust mop on it. And there is a Johnson & Johnson wax (gold something?) as I recall that is great on walls that are made of wood planks. If you're trying to dry out wood then having the heat on in the room for a while should do it. I lightly wash my rug every six weeks and it's dry in a couple of hours.
