Pet Urine Stains on Subflooring

RE: Pet Urine Stains on Subflooring Post By tbiscuit (Guest Post) (06/13/2008) I was trying to teach my dog to use a litter box outside. During her training, we had many accidents on the cement patio. Who knew you weren't supposed to stand in the box and hang your fuzzy butt over the side?! Anyway, the cement became stained and foul smelling after a couple of days. After several experiments I ended up trying the Wal-Mart version (think it's Great Value brand) of Clorox Clean Up. It's less than $1 a bottle. To clean with it, you spray or pour the bleach solution over the stained area. It will start to foam and turn warm. I usually let it sit for about 5 minutes then brushed it with a broom and rinsed it very well. It took several treatments for this to work but it was cheap and definitely smelled 'clean'. Just be sure to use in a well ventilated area...the fumes can sneak up on you!

I have tried vinegar, pet-zime, nature's miracle, kids-n-pets, baking-soda and bleach but none has completely eliminated the smell. Now I am planning on using Kilz primer to seal the sub floor. If that does not work then I'll replace the sub-floor.

You can try to treat it and then applying kilz, but in my personal experience the urine eats right thru the kilz even with two layers of primer. only solution, replace flooring.

My dog is older and while I was gone to work she had an accident. hopefully the vinegar and baking soda will work.

It works beautifully. Just pour some on the area let it soak in and then blot. I have done this on my carpet for Doggy diahrrea and for cat urine on couch pillow. It is all gone. I love this product. Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pet Urine Stains on Subflooring Post By melissa (Guest Post) (05/09/2007) It's not a very cheap solution but it does work. Nature's Miracle. Saturate where the dog used & it should take care of the odors. Might have to repeat it several times; however; it is cheaper than new flooring.

Otherwise,you will need to take up the subFloor and I would NOT put subfloor on top of urine soaked subfloor,that would make it worse for you. In the Summer with the heat what a smell that would bring out and why ruin more lumber? Just sand it out,if that doesn't work then replace the subfloor. Also I would start crating the dog when I was NOT around.

Then apply a sealing primer like Kilz and seal the odor in. The primer smells pretty bad, but once that odor wears off, the pet odors should be trapped. This fix prevents you from having to replace the subflooring.

Stinky in WI from Wisconsin Answers: RE: Pet Urine Stains on Subflooring I would try vinegar, once dry the vinegar smell dissipates. I have used it on my carpet and other things and it works great. The mild acidity neutralizes the odor. If your sub floor is partical board be sure not to saturate too much or it will bubble. (06/02/2006) By Barbie RE: Pet Urine Stains on Subflooring we sprayed it with vinegar and laid papertowels to absorb everything then poured baking soda on it to asorb as much as possible and let it stand over night or until dry ( use a lot, make a nice mound)and we ended up painting the subfloor to seal it from future mistakes and it sealed the oder that soaked in. We did this several years ago and have no odors emitting since. (06/05/2006) By Evelyn in Pittsburgh Report Spam or Abuse
