I spilled Awesome cleaner on my hardwood floor. It stripped the polish off of an area. How can I repair it?
Judy is right, it WILL need at least one new coat of polyurethane...probably more. To blend into the old poly finish, take some 180 grit or finer sandpaper and lightly sand around the edge of the stripped area to feather out the old finish. Also lightly sand the bare area of the spill to make sure the surface is evenly bare. Vacuum well, then use a damp cloth to wipe up any remaining sanding dust. Let dry THOROUGHLY. Now you can apply poly with a brush or sponge made for poly finish. Depending how deep the Awesome stripped the finish, you may have to put on more than one coat of poly. When applying the new finish, BE SURE TO FEATHER IT OUT AT THE OVERLAPPED EDGES.
It is going to have to be polyurethaned again. I dont think it will look even if you do just that one spot.
Without knowing what type of finish is on your hardwood floors, it will be difficult to provide suggestions that may or may not work. Some ideas may even do more damage.
You could also try contacting the company to see if they have any suggestions.

You could also try taking several pictures of the floor area and show these to one of the employees at either Ace or True Value Hardware stores as they may be able to offer some suggestions.
There are some online forums that may be able to help but they will need to know what type of finish is on your floors (so try the contractors first).
At your local home improvement store, they have all types of stains that you can purchase to match the existing floor. Clean the area and apply stain to match, to fix this issue.
Re-varnish the damaged area, possibly several layers, and possibly then the entire floor. Although I think a craftsman could replace the damaged hardwood flooring board, but it is not so easy www.youtube.com/
