Hello @ghulam 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about fixing your slate flooring.

I recommend not using methylated spirits on your flooring. The methylated spirits have had a chemical reaction to your floor sealer and has turned it white. Using more of the metho will further damage your floor. I'm afraid that it can't be repaired using D.I.Y. methods.

I recommend engaging the services of a flooring specialist to fix this damage. They have the tools and knowledge to repair it safely and properly. Because the seal has been damaged the flooring specialist will need to strip the sealer along that area, they will then reseal it in order to return your flooring back to its natural colour.  

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
