How To Remove Isopropyl Alcohol Stain That Ruined Your Wood Floor Or Furniture
Do you have Edge® Shaving Cream & Bon Ami® Powdered Cleanser? If so you are ready, if not, go buy some. Do not use other powdered cleansers unless you want to scratch your finish, I won't mind but you might.
The Edge might remove the stain with more effort but I switched it up to the Bon Ami which does a great job of polishing chrome without scratching and getting rid of water spots from vehicle windshields. I have not tried using one or the other to remove the stain by itself but I'm thinking of damaging my desk to see how one works vs the other from start to finish to find out.
This tip will save you Hundreds to Thousands of Dollars from having to refinish and it is extremely difficult to see where the damage was before afterward. If you didn't remember where it was you'd be hard-pressed to see it and you would have to be at the right angle to see it with daylight or a light on it. In the shade, good luck seeing it! The only thing better than this is refinishing and if it is your floor, that means the whole room at the very least!

Wailua's bridge gets closed for the first time in living memory of many islanders. We've had larger floods before but this is the first time they have to close the bridge to clear a logjam.

Out on the west side of Kauai between Waimea and Kekaha on the ocean side of the Highway, you'll find these vehicles adjacent to the Waimea Rodeo Grounds. I thought some of you might like this quick look around them.
Does leaving shaving cream or bon ami longer increase the results?
The shaving gel worked! Thank you so much! I subscribed.
This worked for my dark hardwood floors. I thank you so much for sharing 😊❤
Thanks!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Will this work on darker wood?
It is not the wood it is working on, it is the finish. Now if you get to bare wood one of 3 things becomes an issue. Was the wood sun bleached afterward? Was the wood suntanned afterward? Was the wood stained before it was clear coated or was a stain added to the clear coat? By bare wood I mean wood completely devoid of any penetration from the clear coat. If the answer is yes to any of the above there is only so much you can do. Any bleaching or tanning to match will take years naturally to catch up. Any forced actions to match now will likely unmatch later on. With stained wood the same applies, with stained finishes, it has to be a match to the finish, not the wood below as it will tan or bleach to match over time, many months but most likely years to match.
@@mrgod2u701 it is a shiny cherry wood
@@crystalcastillo4462 you should be fine, I have seen American Cherry tan and bleach depending on its original hue. Remember it is the finish you'll be altering here unless you start removing wood without finish permeated in it.
Thank you for the information I mistakenly sprayed my antique wood headboard while spraying my mattress with etoh I was beside myself but with the edge shaving cream and bon Ami my head board Was restored thank you so much ❤😊
Hi! does it need to be edge shaving cream or can it be any shaving cream?
No, other gels should work too. Edge is what I shave with so... But recently I bought the equate brand at Walmart and tried it just to see if it worked too, it does, however, it leaves a rust ring on my counter so I will not be buying it again.
Thank you so much because you saved my beautiful headboard! I was cleaning my mattress with alcohol spray not knowing I was getting it on the wood. When I saw several whitish spots n drips, I panicked. Finding your post and having bon Ami on hand, I used this and like a miracle, the stains vanished. Amazing and I was able to breathe again. Thank you, thank you!
Just tried shaving foam (didn't have gel around) and it worked great. Thanks!
I just had alcohol drops again on my floor and came back to this video. Each time I had drops of 99% alcohol on the floor that turned the wood white, as it did in your video. The Edge and Bon Ami both worked the first time, but it did take off the floor's finish. Today I used just the Bon Ami and the white stain is gone. I can't tell if it took off the finish because it was already off from the last time I did it, but I believe that Bon Ami by itself will work and isn't as messy as the Edge, which was hard to control and spread over a larger surface than necessary. So maybe try just the Bon Ami. Thanks for being the only good information source!
The Edge is primarily for light stains, and the Bon Ami is for heavily opaque to solid white stains. Actually, it is not the Bon Ami or the Edge that has destroyed your finish, it is the alcohol that does that, the cleaners mildly remove the damaged area while leaving what remains of your good finish, the cost is the loss in elevation of the finish layer in the damaged area.
Actually, the alcohol drops were quite small drops, but the Edge removed the finish when it spread. @mrgod2u701
@@22NJG Hmm, I don't know what to say about that. I've never had that problem with the flooring finish I use which is BONA www.bona.com/en-us/ Maybe it's something in the formula in your finish that presents that issue. If it's BONA then maybe they changed their formula. I appreciate the heads-up and so will others here.
Bon Ami was developed and is made from materials mined near me in Spruce Pine, N.C. We're pretty proud of it ❤
I remember my mom using it since the early 1960s. Two of my favorite uses for it are polishing chrome wheels and removing water spots from the windshields of my trucks
This actually works thank you so much
Thank you, the shaving cream worked😅 I'm so very happy!
❤
I found a way that took my rubbing alcohol totally off. I had Mr. Forbes buffer and Cleaner, then I mixed table salt. Put a small amount on the stain. Rub with the grain on the table. 5 mins, totally gone. Then I had old English polish . And polished my table . Praise the Lord.
I'm glad that worked for you.
I am so grateful, this totally worked, I'm so glad I came upon your video!! It's filed well, instructions are easy to follow, and I've subscribed. Thank you!
Thank you for your reply and kind words.
It happens every heavy rain for decades.
so mrgod2u , you didnt died to the flames are u ! god bless ya ! (from leaked reality)
Alive and still kicking in Hawaii!
@@mrgod2u701 yeah bro ! would be a shame to succumb to lava ! nothin will ever kill ya !
@mrgod2u701 I don't think we chatted that often on Live Leak. I was only active for the last few years. I think I was called Aussie Doug. I recently found Dildo Baggins and he mentioned you so I came looking. I've given him a link to this clip. In hindsite, I really miss the variety of the Live Leak community. I think it was the last of its kind. I hope you're doing well. Doug
@@IronFistDoug god bless this mattafaka, if i knew his hideout, ill have much fun lookin at his videos
@aldolny7055 Dildo Baggins? I don't think he does many these days.
Dad said I’ll be evicted in a week for staining the kitchen with alcohol. Fuck me for trying to clean. Will never do that again.
So, were you able to get the alcohol stains out?
That's pretty cool.
You saved my floor!
Damn, never heard of those items lol
🤪😝🤣🤣
Would regular, drinking alcohol at 70%+ be safe to use on wood countertops?
Borax paste seem to work reasonably well for me, I just didn't scrub much except for with the grain only.
this actually worked you have my subscription sir
Imma try that
Soon to be moving out on my own as my 25th birthday is in 11 days … your tips and tricks actually worked. Now I know what to do and clean and organize… I’m glad I found your channel! 🎉
Omg thanks so much for this! I'm renting and spilled half a bottle all over the floor. Was freaking out thinking I ruined it but the Edge worked perfectly and removed everything.
does it need to be edge?
Thanks for the information. I don't have Bon Ami so I tried perfume and it worked.
One year since the last video. I hope you are doing well!
I was talking with Livelurked a couple of days ago
I'm so happy this has worked for so many of you and there are probably many more that it has who did not comment to say it did. Cheers & Alohas!
Thanks for revealing Bon Ami - I have one on order. I had bar maids friend but I would rather play safe with any cleaning!
Someone told me a few months ago that Bar Keepers Friend now makes a non-scratching variant but I'm on Kauai and we don't get much in variety of many products so I cannot confirm if this is correct. @@candagraphics1111
@@candagraphics1111 Just a thought here, I was replying to another comment and saw yours again; a lot of health food stores stock Bon Ami as an alternative to the more commonly known powdered cleansers, Soft Scrub(The No Bleach Type) would also probably work.
hello! does it need to specifically be edge shaving gel
Thank you SO much!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH U SAVED ME AND MY FRIEND
This really DID work! The Edge gel took care of all the spots by itself except for two, and the Bon Ami cleaned those up right away. I had watched your video several days ago and bought the Edge and Bon Ami, but before I started I checked out other videos just to be sure and saw how some people were swearing by perfume spray. I then went back to re-watch your video and had forgotten you'd mentioned the perfume spray doesn't work. Glad I stayed with your info. THANK YOU!! I'm now going to check out what other videos you have.
I'm pretty sure the oil content in the perfume gives the illusion that it works until, well, the oil is gone, and existing damage is viewable again.
Good stuff MG
Thanks, I sure miss the wild wild west of LiveLeak. Messing with the trolls was always fun.
@@mrgod2u701 There is a bunch of old Liveleakers at Kaotic and Vidmax. They go back and forth.
I have a 100 year old baby grand piano. Would you recommend using this technique to repair a similar stain caused by isopropyl alcohol?
Next to sanding and refinishing the whole surface where the stain is, it is live with the stain or... Your choice but depending on how deep the stain is you'll notice a slight elevation change in the sheen of the finish as I noted in this video. You'll see the elevation change at certain angles and lighting conditions and you'll have to look for it to see it otherwise it blends in the rest of the time. If you're really worried about it try just doing a small spot with a Q-Tip and decide for yourself.
That was great. I have a white, powdery residue on my laminate floor. It was from acidic car wheel cleaner. I tried sanding it, which improved it, but the final haze won't disappear. As the laminate isn't wood, it's vinyl, I don't know what to do. I will try the shaving foam and toothpaste ( I don't have non scratching cleaner here in Czech Republic )
Try searching online for "Where to buy Bon Ami Powder Cleanser in the Czech Republic or Europe." Surely you can also try eBay and Amazon too. The bulk of the stain was removed by the Bon Ami.
Amazing. I didn't have the right ingredients so I used Gillet and baking soda subtitutes.
Did it work?
I figured Gillet would work too but failed to mention it. A few days ago I bought the Walmart generic brand "Equate" gel shaving cream yo give it a go on a future video, the baking soda was a good choice, basically a salt that isn't as abrasive as table salt is before it dissolves, the key is making it a paste to work.
Perfect thank you I will try!!!
I accidentally got Lysol on my table and now I have a white cloud. How do I get rid of that? It looks like a heat mark
The lawn is mowed but the house is falling apart. WTF ? Elmondo
MG. good tip. Elmondo
Thank you. Hoping Ben Ami alone will do the trick.
Sorry, auto correct Bon Ami.
It should do the job, I tried the Edge shaving cream first because it works so well at removing the gooey residue that forms on Chinese plastic items just to see what it would do on an alcohol stain first which it did work to some extent but nowhere near as well as the Bon Ami did.
@@mrgod2u701 thank you.
This 100% works for Lysol stain as well. I used a magic eraser.
Really? Lol I just accidentally got it on mine
This guy is a genius Bon Ami worked when nothing else did and I tried all. Unbelievable!
Did you just use the Bon Ami? Thanks
So what should I use shaving foam or soft scrub?
Sorry, I overlooked your comment until now. Bon Ami is my go-to item over soft scrub; I have both and prefer the Bon Ami. Edge shaving cream would work for a lighter alcohol stain but not as well. Edge will really shine through if you have plastic items getting gummy or worse to the touch like a lot of Chinese plastic will get over time,. I live in a 65%+ humidity tropical environment and it is a real issue that you might not see in a drier climate.
I am shocked how flawlessly this removed my alcohol stain. It look like 10 minutes and cost next to nothing. Fantastic tip. Thank you for posting this.
Did the alcohol peel the top coat off
Did you use both products and if not which one?
The Bon Ami will work better on solid white stains, and the Edge will work on more translucent ones. Bon Ami with the water is working like a rouge polishing compound and will cause an elevation change that is visible on close inspection. @js7851
Actually, the alcohol degrades the finish, The Bon Ami will work better on solid white stains, and the Edge will work on more translucent ones. Bon Ami with the water is working like a rouge polishing compound and will cause an elevation change that is visible on close inspection but at head height above the area is almost completely invisible unless spotted in the sheen with people with exceptional eyesight, in other words, better than 20/20 vision. @lovefonz26
Come to steve's live show. Hope all is well!
This is a great tip 👍 Thanks for sharing. I have it on glass and can't scrub it for fear of scratching the glass. 😞
How did it work out for you? I hope you made it into a paste.
@@mrgod2u701 I haven't tried it yet. Need to get the foam from the shop. 😆 It's actually inside an old 35mm camera viewfinder. I stupidly got carried away with cleaning it with a Q tip and before i knew it i forgot and went in to the camera body🤦♀️. I never do that normally. 🙄
@@squareformat Have you tried Eclipse or some similar type of lens cleaning fluid? If so and if it didn't work I hope this trick works out for you. If you haven't tried Eclipse or a similar product, I'd try that first before going to the Bon Ami paste. I got my Eclipse off of eBay.
@@mrgod2u701 Hi, I'm going to google eclipse because I'm assuming it's an American product? And I'm British. Thanks though. I'll google the ingredients. Yes, i have tried the lens cleaning fluid. Olive oil seemed to work the best after polishing it for ages. Unfortunately, still there. I'll try a tiny splodge of shaving foam. Nothing to lose really because it's thankfully a very cheap camera. 👍 But great to see if it works for future silly mistakes. 🤦♀️
@@squareformat Well the Eclipse has s Methanol base if that helps. I live in Hawaii and plastics gumming up and turning sticky is a real problem here but not from plastics from before 2000. Primarily it's the plastics out of China that is the problem. I had a keyboard I hadn't used that I had put in a box for a couple of years and when the one I had replaced it with died due to a spilled beer compatibility problem I went to get it and discovered the plastic had turned gummy & gooey as can be with cardboard stuck to it in places. I set it on my bathroom counter to deal with later. The next morning I overshot my hand with the Edge shaving cream and it streamed onto the keyboard. I shaved and around 15 minutes later I used a damp cloth to wipe up the shaving cream and by the accident of shaving cream hitting it and being wiped up the gooey stuff cleaned right off. Time & more shaving cream later it was gummy plastic free. That is how I found this little trick that I've used on plastics ever since when needed.
I just came here to write a stupid comment. Aloha!
