How to Fix Water Spots on Bruce Hardwood Floors

Pennsylvania-based Bruce Flooring has been producing flooring products for over a century. Bruce constructs both solid and engineered hardwood flooring, and both types are subject to water stains. White, or surface-only, spots affect the finish. With a few simple steps, you can fix most surface water spots on Bruce hardwood floors.

1. Dip a soft cloth into a hardwood floor cleaner solution. The manufacturer recommends using either Armstrong Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner or Bruce Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner.
2. Scrub the water spots with the moistened cloth. Dry with a towel.
3. Check the affected area; if any water spots remain, go to Step 4.
4. Dip a clean, soft cloth into mineral spirits. Rub any stubborn water spots with the cloth. Dry with a towel.
5. Clean the affected flooring area once more with the hardwood floor cleaner.
