Cat Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors

I have discovered dark patches on the wooden floor where my cat has previously peed and it has dried in. I am not too bothered about the stain it has made as it will be covered by a new rug. I will have to throw away the old rug which is shaggy pile and replace it, but I need to get rid of the smell. The floor is teak. Any ideas please?

RE: Cat Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors

I don't have pets but my son says Odoban is a good product for pet odors. I've also seen ZeroOdor advertised on TV. Also, check this link http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf250655.tip.html for past suggestions about this problem. (06/20/2005)

RE: Cat/Dog Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors

My wife and I have two indoor dogs. They urinate in the house quite often, especially when it is raining. We used odo-ban on the hardwood floors and rugs, didn't work. We even soaked the rugs in odoban overnight. The smell was not as apparent but it was still there. Oddly enough, after the rugs dried and sat a couple of days they started to smell again. Odoban will cover some odors but in my opinion it just makes flower scented urine. Vinegar worked better for us, simply because of the acidity level. Hope this helps. P.S. Hardwood stains can be removed with Hydrogen Peroxide. (05/17/2006)

My cat has ruined our hardwood floors. The smell is awful since we have been using the heater. I have tried so many products and nothing works. I have to be careful with certain products on the wood. I am very sad because I may have to give the cat away or put it on medication. Please help.


My son bought a house that smells like cat pee. I have read many articles on the subject, however nothing I have read specifically answers this question.
