So What Happened?

I am sorry to say that none of these worked. It has been on the floor for a while (like a month).....maybe that made a difference? Thanks for all the suggestions!

I clean my hard wood floors with vinegar and water or a little orange glow. One of these two seems to get most stains off.

It's a little weird, but scrubbing with baby wipes seems to do the trick. I've even gotten dried paint off the floor with baby wipes. Makes you wonder....

I'm not an expert on taking care of hardwood floors, as we don't have them, but I have old breastmilk and spitup on the crib that we just cleaned up (my youngest was in it til July...and we're having a baby in December, so we just cleaned it up nice for the new baby. Anyway, the crib is solid wood and I just used a pledge multi-surface wipe. It definitely took some scrubbing, but it did come up. I don't know whether you're talking like a whole container of pumped milk fell on the floor, or if it's just those random splatters from being over-full...but for me, it's just been a matter of rubbing them off. I actually checked on your post to see if there was any great advice, as we have it in random places from my other two kids--the sides of a wooden blanket chest, even the outside of my pump...and I wanted to see if anyone had great advice! But anyway--that's what I've done. It's not great, but it does work.
