Lye Dust Concerns

[TheGecko]

I recently had a lye crystal bounce in very cold weather here in NY. I thought I had gotten it all only to notice a few days later that it hit my hardwood floors now they are stained like freckles any advice here?

Try some colored liquid wax or spray lacquer. I had a dish of lye get spilled on my linoleum, didn't get it all swept up and the specks burnt it. It's not so noticeable...natural wear.
