The oil is from a Bath & Body Works wall plug in. It spilled on the wood surface. How can I remove this without compromising the wood?
Usually you would sand off the whole floor and then stain. Then use a couple coats of poly.
I have not used it personally, but from what I understand you still have to do some amount of sanding. I do know that there are DIYers in my DIY Facebook Group that have done this with success. Here is a link that might help you:http://designeddecor.com/using-gel-stain-over-existing-stained-wood/

sand first and then yep! Good luck :)
