My friend spilled water without noticing on my parquetry floor and it had some time (12h) to stain the wood. I wonder, how can I improve the look, remove those dark staining at the edges of each bar. A picture says more than a thousand words:
EDIT on January 2014:
The condition of the parquetry floor improved drastically over time.
Yet some marks are still visible. In our case we do not need to repair it.

If water is absorbing this readily into your floor and discoloring it this much, it's probably time to refinish it.
