How to Remove Minwax Stain That Spilled on a Tile Floor

Wipe the Minwax stain using a paper towel to absorb as much of it as possible from the surface of the tile. If the stain is already dry, proceed with the removal process.

Place 1 gallon of warm water into a bucket and squeeze 1 to 2 tsp. of dish soap into it. Insert a scrubber sponge into the bucket and stir the water around to form bubbles.

Squeeze most of the water out of the sponge and then apply it directly to the Minwax stain on the floor. Scrub the stain using firm, circular motions until the stain begins to dissolve. Rinse the sponge and then continue wiping until no more stain remains.

Wipe the floor with a clean, dry cloth to remove all moisture and stain residue from it.

Put on disposable rubber gloves and open all doors and windows to provide adequate ventilation in the area.

Press down on the cloth and move it in circular motions using firm pressure. Continue until the stain softens and detaches from the floor.
