Hello Valorie, Just about the only way I know of is to gently sand them out and then match the stain as best you can, and stain and reseal it. Begin with a rougher textured sandpaper to begin to rough it up a bit, then change over to a 200 grit to get a smooth finish (the higher the number "grit" the finerthe finish will be). The Big Box stores like Lowe's, Home Depot, Menard's, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, will all carry things you need to do the job, but to make things easier ask a sales person to help you out ;) They cn take you right to where you need to go to get the supplies and at the first 3 I mentioned, they can even instruct you a bit on how to "get'er done" ;) Good Luck Valorie, and thank you for asking HOMETALK how to easily remove cigarette burns from a wooden floor.
Hi Valorie, Here's a video that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrSV7HO46QI
Excuse the begining, but it looks like it worked!
Good luck!
Sand the spot to remove all evidence of the burn, and stain it with the matching stain of the floor. Take a good picture of the area to a paint store and they will help you select the proper stain. Then you will need to apply a coat of Varnish to seal it and give it a appearance like the remaining area.
Sand off the spot, then get SoftWax Wood filler from www.fastcap.com. It will have a match for the wood. The process is to color the spot like a crayon (filling the hole), scrape off the excess and buff out.
I would also start by sanding it off.
