How to Remove Dark Spot on Hardwood Floor

Hydrogen peroxide. Soak a towel or cloth in hydrogen peroxide and put it over the stain for half an hour. Works like magic if the stain is fresh enough.

I had the same problem when I bought my house. The company that we hired to refinish and polish our floors told us that does black spots will not come out we needed to replace that piece of wood. They tried to sand it down and you still were able to see it.
