DH has ruined week old wood flooring

I feel sick to my stomach.

We have splashed out on parquet flooring for all of downstairs (sick of renting a rug dr after every dog walk). Have been uber cautious with furniture pads etc.

DH saw ink-like black splodges on the floor last night and had to scrub very hard using the green side of the sponge to remove (still slightly visible tbh). And the floor now has white splodges the size of Xmas choc coins.

We are wooden floor newbies, can anyone save my floors? Has the varnish just come off? They are my dream floors and I didn’t even get to enjoy them yet (still doing up the rest of the house)

Cut a walnut in half and gently rub it on the white patches - TRY A TINY TINY SPOT FIRST!! This is an old trick but it worked perfectly for a friend's wooden dresser.

Oh I’m so sorry! No advice but just a hand hold in solidarity. I hope your DH is suitably contrite given how upset you are!

Sorry no advice as no experience, just looking at it and the specs look like part of the wood pattern? Or is it my eyesight?
