Best Answer

Bleach lightens wood. People sometimes bleach a piece of wood in order to change the color to something lighter. It is also sometimes done to get rid of the darkness that sometimes comes as the wood ages.

No, that is the worse thing to use. Use a good wood cleaner and it will shine it as it cleans. For upholstery, you would want to get a professional to clean it.

Can you use nail polish remover get mildew stains out of hardwood floors?

The nail polish remover will discolor the wood since it is an acid. You need to kill the mildew. You could apply a mixture of bleach and water to kill the mildew but don't let it stay on the wood for too long because the bleach is an acid also. If the stain remains, you will probably have to sand down and refinish the wood. You may try to brush on a light colored stain to the wood which may cover the mildew stain after you kill it.
