    i do not know what wood you tried chlorine bleach on, but my kitchen floor is bare wood, no varnish,no sealer. The wood is oak and i have been using bleach on it , since the 40’s and it turns the wood a nice white! we used bleach on the deck of our ship in the navy, and it always turned white , once the chlorox dried!

    My problem is with spar varnish over Maple and/or Oak, which got stained with Pepsi,leaving it black
    I am trying to find something, which will remove the pepsi stain without taking the varnish off the wood.
    If you put chlorine bleach, directly, on varnish,yes, it will turn the varnish black.
    Chlorine bleach will turn bare wood white!
    I tried oxalic acid, today! itt did not remove the stain. Wher the varnish is gone from the wood surface, there was some lightening effect,but chlorine works, better!

    I tried denatured alcohol,it did not work!
    i need something which will remove the stain from the varnish, without my having to removinmg the varnish and bleaching the wood, then, re varnishing!

    you will need to drain your radiators first
    then close valves to/on radiators
    refill system !
    see if you get heat in other rooms
    some radiator system are done in parallel , so if you shut off one (or 2)
    water will by pass , and continue on to the other radiators
    if they are hooked up in series , then if you shut one off , you have efectively shut all off
    just like your xmas lights
