Damp patch on engineered oiled oak floor

[alfie1boy]

Hello
I need some advice please. I had a Kahrs white oak engineered floor laid in January this year. It has an oiled finish. It seems my children have been throwing their juice about and I have discovered a large damp patch underneath an armchair which has turned almost black. I understood that this flooring was sealed [oiled] and that I might need to undertake oiling it myself a couple of times a year. I'm quite shocked at how quickly this seems to have happened - it almost looks as if the floor has no protective qualities whatsoever. Anyway, please could someone tell me how to deal with this stain. I have moved the furniture around to let the air get to it and dry it out, but I don't want to wade in too heavy with the sandpaper in case the whole floor will need sanding to level it out. Could someone also please recommed what finish I could put on the floor to better protect it. The people who sold me this [relatively expensive] floor told me it would be hardwearing, which it doen't seem to be at all. Thanks so much. Tina.

Try some steel wool 000 to shift the stain. Every floor needs regular maintenance, re-oiling should not be needed. The company that installed the floor should have left you at least a maintenance leaflet
