It's a livingroom.

Just dry it out the best you can: mop, shopvac, blowers, ventilation.
Go crazy on drying it out. In the end, you'll have less to repair.

This. For wood floors I don't know how stupid it is, but I'd throw down dry rice. Maybe baking soda.

If you're renting and it was their washing machine that broke, the best thing to do might be to call them. If it's yours, just minimize the damage/ugly factor and later if you're /diy/ repair. Otherwise, the floor still works, it'll just be ugly.

Coat in lighter fluid and light on fire for 3 minutes
Put out flames and re-sand floor

dehumidifier and fan

That's what I'm doing. I already threw dry rice. I'm using a hair drier too. Some anon on /b/ recommended flour too.
Is there any chance it won't swell?

Bump.
Floor has been heated (relatively), riced and floured. No swelling so far, I don't know when I should expect to see the damage.

If anyone has any further advice I'll read it tomorrow.

If it hasn't swelled yet it should be fine. If the mosture is gone how can it swell after the fact?

That doesn't mean it hasn't degraded from the exposure, but you should be fine. Quick and complete drying of the mess is sufficient to avoid problems. Good job.

I would put a dehumidifier in there, just to help avoid molding from any leftover moisture

Had a pipe go boom in my wall, soaked my floor. Between a dehumidifier and a rented air mover, it's fine, just the tiniest bit discolored. Keep it dry and you should be good.
