Not possible. Any change in color (for it to last), it needs to be sanded down, restained and resealed. -

Since wood floors are finished with poly, sanding is the option to remove it unless its a floating floor.I would contact the manufacturer to see if this is even advisable since its engineered wood that is a sandwich of hardwood and softwood, and the wood bleach might effect the glue holding the sandwich together. -

It would probably be less expensive and less of a pain to just get the color you want and either replace the current flooring or lay another one over it, maybe in the opposite direction? -

A typical 200 square foot garage floor, therefore, may cost between $400 and $800on average, but can cost up to $6,000 for an intricately stained floor, or a floor that requires multiple coats or repair prior to coating.
