How do I remove an oil stain from a wood floor?

Oil Stain Removal from Wood Floors

To remove oil stains from wood floors, wash the stained area with mineral spirits. If that does not seem to be working, you could also try using Naptha. Depending on the finish on the wood, you could also use paint thinner, but I would recommend trying this on a non-visible area first to ensure that it would not damage the finish.
