Are the marks where the nails are? Or are they caused by a reaction with wet blcaeh? It may not matter because those types of stains can be very deep and difficult to remove. Bleach doesn’t cause a stain, it removes pigment from whatever it touches, and the black marks are a chemical reaction to it or water, so you will probably have to sand at least the stains, if not the whole floor.Without seeing it, I’m guessing that the entire floor may have to be refinished. Sanded down to bare wood, sealed, and a new top coat applied, though a flooring company will be able to give you expert advice. If the area isn’t huge and the rest of the floor is in good shape, you may be able to sand out the problem area and recoat it, but again, we’d just be guessing from here. Most flooring refinishers will do an estimate at no cost so you should probably have someone look at it because they can tell how deep it is, the type of finish you have, and what your options are. If you’re lucky, the stain isn’t too deep and you can simply sand it out and reapply a sealer and finish, which is probably polyurethane.

By the way, we don’t use fabric softener for our clothes (b/c of skin sensitivities), but we do use white distilled vinegar. A 1/2 cup during the final rinse helps soften clothes, esp. for fire-retardant kid’s jammies (supposedly, I don’t know since we don’t have that kind!). So I keep a big jug of vinegar by the washing machine!
