Thanks for sharing!
No questions, with the sawdust you HAVE to be VERY CAREFULL!
I’m glad nothing bad happened to you, or your property!

I stay in Bangalore, India. Recently I am doing my wooden flooring and hence last Saturday, the flooring guys finished the sanding of the wooden floor that generated a big amount of very fine grained saw dust. The whole of Saturday and Sunday, nobody went inside the room and it was totally closed. Yesterday night (Monday night 2:00 am) at around 2 am, I got with smoke totally filled up in the room and I was choking as I tried to enter the room. The saw dust was kept in the ground floor of the room which was granite and was in a bit isolated place and thus nothing happened. The upper floor of that room was the wooden floor which was untouched. It was a very very lucky escape for us. I searched in the net and find that for saw dust to get into flames, you do not necessarily need an external source of fire. The heat generated by the flooring can be good enough for the saw dust to catch fire. I wish to spread this message to all who are doing wooden flooring or any such activity that generates fine grained saw dust to be careful of this flammability hazard of saw dust.

It depends how much do the lines show.If this would be me,I would probably buff it real good(I mean heavy buffing with the brand new 120 grit sandpaper), and try to take as much finish off the floor as possible(especially in the areas that are affected most).I just think that it’s better to apply an extra coat of poly if the floor will need it, then to sand it all over again.Hope it helps.

It’s hard to say.The first option is to wait:sometimes it dissapears with the time.The second is to sand the floor again(I know it hurts,but what can you do?). I have to say that eventually this milky film will dissapear, but it could take up to a year or two for it to happen.Sorry.
Of course, I don’t know the whole deal,but these are the first things that came into my mind.
