How to remove chainsaw oil from wooden floor!?!

Judy Timmersman
by Judy Timmersman

The porch does not get sun and the wood is about 20 years old. The chainsaw oil has been on floor for about 2 months. I wiped up what I could and walked on paper towels to soak up as much as possible. The oil is Briggs & Stratton for outdoor power equipment 4 cycle engine - SAE 30. icon

    I do not believe you could do that without sanding down to where it bled.

    Mineral spirits like simple paint thinner can work wonders for restoring your wood floors or furniture. To use, simply apply the spirits on a cloth and work it in to the wood, going with the grain. Repeat as often as necessary until the stain is dissolved, then wash and buff dry using detergent.

    Hi Judy !

    Mineral spirits like simple paint thinner can work wonders for restoring your wood floor. To use, simply apply the spirits on a cloth and work it in to the wood going with the grain. Repeat as often as necessary until the stain is dissolved, then wash and buff dry using detergent ( dawn works wonders) and hot water. Hopes this helps! Good Luck!

    I would try degreasing it with Dollar Tree Awesome Degreaser and a brush. May take a few treatments.... but our local car detailer uses it, saw him at the store with about 10 bottles.

    You can use baking soda or sawdust because it is absorbent powder. Might it's helping you to remove chainsaw oil from the wooden floor.
