Care and Maintenance of Polished Timber Floors
Pet Accidents
Both pets and small children are prone to "accidents", which means dealing with urine. As it contains uric acid, it can discolor the wood, and also cause it to smell bad.
If you find the accident while it's still fresh, use a paper towel or cloth to wipe it up, and then clean it with a mild detergent and water. Next, soak rubbing alcohol into a cloth and use it to buff the stain out. If you have trouble with the smell, get a commercial product designed to neutralize odor and remove the stain. Don't be surprised if one application isn't enough to get rid of the odor.
If you don't find the stain until it's old (and dried), use sandpaper to get it out, and then refinish the polished wood flooring. If the stain and smell are deeply embedded in the wood, you may have to remove and replace the flooring.
Crayons
If you have small children, even if they are well-behaved, they may take it upon themselves to "decorate" the polished hardwood flooring. One way to deal with this: give your kids crayons that are washable. If the crayons are wax-based, use a cloth to rub some toothpaste into the affected spot. Once the "masterpiece" is removed, clean away any leftover toothpaste, and then wipe the floor until it's dry.
In the event there's a clump in the crayons, treat it like gum: put a plastic bag full of ice on the clump to harden it.
Preventative Care
As previously mentioned, screwdrivers and hard tools can mar a wood floor, and heavy objects (furniture and the like) can dent and gouge it even worse. By using felt pads under the feet of the furniture, you can stop this from happening. Another thing is sunlight; it has a bleaching affect on many things – hardwood included. So, use blinds and drapes to prevent severe sun exposure to any given location. Depending on where you live, southern and western windows can be especially damaging.
Still, with good maintenance and care, your polished flooring can stay looking as good as new for quite a few years. If you get a water stain, this is really a watermark that has become permanently fixed into the wood. To get rid of that, first try a commercial cleanser; there are a variety of such cleaners available. If that doesn't do it, you'll have to sand the area and then stain it again. The best thing to use is #0000 steel wool or a fine-grade sandpaper, and then rub the stain gently – being sure to stay with the grain as you do – until the stain is removed. After that, buff the area using a clean cloth or add more wax. If that isn't enough, you may have to add some more finish to the affected spot; for that use a varnish brush.

So worried!! What happens if you get alittle Brasso Polisher in your eye?
I got brasso to clean my ipod and i'm worried about how harmful this stuff is. The lid requires u to pull on it to break the seal. So i pulled the lid off and i felt a bit of brasso flew into my left eye. I wish this stuff wasn't liquid form so it couldn't do that.....I didn't feel any irritation but i went to wash my eyes just incase for 5 minutes although it says to do it for 15 minutes. Nothings wrong with my eye though and it's been 2 days since i used it. I read that there's ammonia in it and that stuff is stated to cause blindness, lung damage if you splash it directly into your eye. It was only 10 - 15% Ammonia..... but i'm still very worried. Will my eye be okay?
Worst of all it didn't even clean my ipod and leaves and strong smell that won't wash away on my gadget.
I looked up the MSDS for Brasso to see what the issue is. based on what I read, it appears to be a petroleum-based solvent that isn't a lot different from mineral spirits or paint thinner.
Although this sort of stuff is not good to be splashing into your eye, I would expect any real damage to be apparent pretty quickly following the accident. Maybe something like blurry vision or an area of distortion would be a sign of some damage. You do not seem to have suffered any such acute effects, so I do not think you have too much to worry about.
I think you can relax and chalk it up to experience. Amazing how easy it is to hurt yourself even with household chemicals.
