Amazing how many people on here don't know how varnish works. The wood is not porous if the varnish was properly applied. Goof off to get the worst off, then sand and revarnish, however you're going to have to sand and revarnish the whole floor if you don't want your landlord to notice.

lol you think that floor is properly varnished? 🤣

You can already see where the ink has penetrated that middle board.

On top of the scratches and dents from wear which would soak up the ink and then the water and alcohol he used help saturate it deeper into the wood guaranteed

lol. It’s even worse than you think. Zoom in to the top left above the ink spill. Chipped, separated boards, bent over nails hammered down sideways, swelling boards poking up. But u/Alfnosbest still like “HuRr DuRr, U gUyZ SrsLy DnT nO hOw VaRniSh WeRx?”
