The baking soda shouldn't hurt the wood, but the vinegar might. Any moisture at all is not good for wood. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty absorbent with odors; I use it to layer under the litter in my cats' boxes. As others have said,ANY water is bad for a wood floor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a permanent fix, but might help... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also cleans as well. Then a hot iron on a cloth might work to rid any oils still remaining. Olive oil is also something that can be applied to wooden floor stains. Depends on the type of wood. Red oak is porous, white oak is not. Some people actually use mayonnaise as a stain removal as well.
