Hoping to try household items first. The floor is also sealed, with what? I have no idea by it comes off real easy

Soap doesn’t work  
Goo Gone doesn’t work  
Nail Polish remover made it worse

Will try perc (or choloform)

Trying to do everything I can to avoid sanding it and having to reseal it…

> **[Poultice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poultice)**
>
> A poultice, also called a cataplasm, is a soft moist mass, often heated and medicated, that is spread on cloth over the skin to treat an aching, inflamed or painful part of the body. It can be used on wounds such as cuts. Poultice may also refer to a porous solid filled with solvent used to remove stains from porous stone such as marble or granite. The word "poultice" comes from the Latin puls, pultes, meaning "porridge".

> **[Dichloromethane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichloromethane)**
>
> Dichloromethane (DCM, or methylene chloride) is a geminal organic compound with the formula CH2Cl2. This colorless, volatile liquid with a moderately sweet aroma is widely used as a solvent. Although it is not miscible with water, it is miscible with many organic solvents. Natural sources of dichloromethane include oceanic sources, macroalgae, wetlands, and volcanoes. However, the majority of dichloromethane in the environment is the result of industrial emissions.
