How do you  dry stain on hardwood floors?
 Start by letting the stain dry for two days to see if it disappears on its own. If not, try several different methods for removing the stain from the wood floor. Cover the stain with a dry cotton cloth and rub with a hot iron (set to no steam) for two to three seconds. Or, use very fine steel wool pad that has been thoroughly soaked in lemon oil, which acts as a lubricant and prevents scratching.
