Hello everyone,
While we were on vacation, we asked our neighbors to water the plants outside. Unfortunately, they were a bit too thorough and also watered the indoor plants. Apparently, water dripped from the pot onto the hardwood floor for over two weeks. The result can be seen in the picture.
Is there any way to salvage this?
It probably won’t be possible to completely remove the damage, but surely at least the worst of it can be fixed?

Liability insurance does not cover favors.This is not correct. On the one hand, they are required to pay (Federal Court of Justice IV ZR 467/15 from 26.04.16), and on the other hand, at least some liability insurances now explicitly include this coverage to provide security so you don’t have to take legal action in the event of damage.

Correct, by now you have to really search to find a personal liability insurance policy that does not cover acts of goodwill. Usually, coverage is capped with an upper limit, but rarely below 10,000 (approximately 10k)....
Thanks to @Patricck, where are the (clarifying) responses?
Admittedly, I only just noticed "zinc vase" in the title. In the text, the vase then becomes a pot.
Have you ever seen balcony railings clad with zinc sheets? You almost always get black streaks from the zinc/rain, but not within 2…3 weeks…
This has definitely been deteriorating for a longer period.

Patryk198429 Aug 2022 19:34When it comes to plants and the surrounding details, I’m unfortunately not very knowledgeable. So I probably mix up the terminology. But it is a plant pot (according to my wife) made of zinc.
It definitely wasn’t like this before, as we have had the pot for years and were aware of the leak. It has been placed in many different spots and is regularly moved, since we rearrange it during visits to extend the area around the dining table. The plant also requires very little water. If watered too much, the water passes through the soil and drains out of the saucer into the pot.
I ordered the product from Woca. It should arrive midweek. I will gladly provide an update then.

QQSTSolar30 Aug 2022 07:31Get some washing soda. It can be found in a Russian discount chain store in Germany, available in most larger cities. It costs about 1 to 2 euros per packet. Essentially, it is a form of sodium carbonate. This will dissolve the zinc corrosion on your parquet floor gradually. However, you need to try it carefully.
Then you should check if it comes off. If not completely, lightly sand the area again and reseal it.
But I think washing soda should work quite well.
