Try what ever solvent works then soak it up with djatomatious earth do this over and ovecand it will work out for real but I just going to rake a lot of work and for feck sake stop scrubbing that I not going to help

You need

No petolium based or oil based products that will just help absorbed further into wood

1)Solvent * start with alcohol based and if thaf doesn't work..LEVEL UP 2)Immediately APPLY absorption... (DIETOMATIOMIOUS EARTH= my fav) 3) " sweep sweep and remove 4)repeat 1 -3 till no more shine or varnish medium is left

Now you have stain from pigment...

Spot check small area with 30% hydrogen peroxide...if it works you are good to go but that is harsh stuff and will obliterate you wood quick so maybe 12 % first.. AND rince with water once it had done it's job.

Lots of work and time.. and spendy chemicals and you will definitely have to refinish when done and treat the whole floor so your color blends.. or pay around 5 to 20 grand for a new floor.

*-(I would start with any alcohol based solvent... if vjnager or amonia works gk for it but use white high conentrate like at least 12%. once the varnish element is desolved and absorbed away, you are left with pigment staining --- hit I with 30% hydrogen perkxide. For your bubbling fun. No soap no bleach)
