Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me solve this problem, because all the people I have asked so far have been unable to provide a solution....
So, I renovated my house 6 months ago, brand new wooden floor, oiled, not varnished. From the start it had strange white areas near the nodes and the grain. These areas are almost invisible in artificial light from above, but in natural sunlight they are very noticeable. The parquet looks damaged or dirty when in fact it is not.
Below you can see the overall situation of the kitchen floor which (the kitchen is the room with most sunlight but this is happening all over the house):
Here some closups:
If I get the floor wet, the problem disappears temporarily and gets back as it dries.
So, the people I asked help for suggested that I should 'nourish' the wood with wax oil because it was probably very dry. I did it and got the same result as with water, problem solved until the product dried out.
I then tried feeding the wood with a natural straw-yellow oil by applying a very thin layer. This solved the problem for longer (about 1 month) but darkened the whole tone of the parquet.
Now I'm back to the situation where the knots and other areas are white again and I don't want to reapply a product that will change the tone of the wood and only solve the problem temporarily, so I'm asking you for help because I really have no way of understanding what the problem and solution might be.
I thank everyone in advance and I apologize if my english is a bit rough
