You will probably need to strip it or sand it and then re varnish/ seal it.

hi sharon,

dont mean to sound condescending

but are you sure that it is parquet, and not an amtico floor.

and if the floor is new, my first port of call would be to the flooring company that laid the floor, and to get the spec sheet form them for the cleaning and maintainence requirements.

I think you could be right Martin.
