made the mistake of shampooing carpet on hardwood floor, using too much shampoo, my floor is stained black and green. My thoughts were to sand off polyurethane, scrub stained areas with wood bleach, restain and re poly the affected areas. Any additional advice would be great.
Is this a good question?

You’re on the right track based on your thoughts in your question, the only thing I would add is that depending on how big your flooring is, I would consider resurfacing the entire wood floor. Otherwise the formerly stained areas will stand out from the rest of your flooring.

This room is about 15x20 so pretty large. The hardest part might be to find the right stain, but i have to determine what kind of wood it is. Any recommendation?
I would pick out a stain that matches with your room. The best thing to do is to either take a sample of your floor or a picture with you to your local hardware store or lumberyard and pick out the stain that you want. You’ll probably need a stain and a clear coat protectant like poly - once you get there, talking to one of their associates and they can help get you to the best stain choices for your floor. When you do refinish the floor, make sure you have good ventilation and fans - it’s going to smell for a few days while it dries.
