Edd, Sometimes bronze wool and a Joy dish detergent in warm water works wonders on wood. It pulls out the dirt and leaves the wood smooth. Be very careful sanding your floor. The top veneer is very, very thin.

Skip the cleaner since you have sanded and go for brightener. It is basically oxalic acid, but if you can't that buy the Starbright. Pretty sure Walmart carries.

Will any outdoor bleach work? Is there a particular brand/item you recommend? Here's a shot of the floor board sanded down (looks WAY better than it did, but now I want perfection.) -- https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15162917/floor.jpg All the best, Edd Edd M.

Use hot water. You only need a couple cups of water. Rinse and repeat. Use a scotch pad to rub it in.

My wife has volunteered to try to take on the project and was more than excited when I bought her her very own orbital sander. (Sorry guys, she's taken.) So, we took up a small section and she sanded away the poly coating and have dried things out. And, although MUCH better than it looked originally, we're still seeing some discoloration in both the teak and holly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to restore it to its original look? We see the teak/holly part is just a thin surface so we know we can't sand too much. O n a side note -- Stu -- if there's anything we can do to make this rough time easier for you and your wife, please ask. The service you provide us here has proven to be valuable beyond all expectations. All the best, Edd Edd M.
