Dog Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors

RE: Dog Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors Post By Brandy H.G. AL. (Guest Post) (06/25/2008) I am still looking for answers on how to get the dog urine out of my hardwood floors. Now it has turned black in the spots where she has urinated, so I assume the wood floor has soaked it up, so what to do?

I have to pull up all carpet and vinyl flooring. There is hardwoods floors underneath. I know by the look of the carpet that the underlying floor isn't gonna be much better. I am looking for suggestions to get the urine smell out of the floors.

We have a male and a female Doberman and you can imagine the urine smell before we used this. I followed the instructions explicitly and it works great! Be sure to use gloves as it will irritae skin. Again follow the instruction to the letter. http://www.odormute.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dog Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors Post By Michael (Guest Post) (01/19/2008) After no luck with vinegar or Nature's Miracle, I used Odormute on our patio with excellent results.

The Febreeze masked the immediate odor and the baking soda the rest. It worked and the cat never returned to the area. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dog Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors Post By rae ann. (Guest Post) (04/02/2007) Cat urine is even worse than dog urine. My cats urinated on my sofa cushions with a foam core. I took them outside and poured water through and let them dry for several days in the sun. The smell was gone for awhile but eventually came back. A week ago I found some Frebreze pet odor eliminator and figured it was worth a try. So far,so good. If the smell comes back again, I'll spray it again. It was with all the other Frebreze sprays.

I mixed it half and half with water and applied and let dry and applied 2 more times and let it dry. The house smelled like a salad for about a week. It finally cleared up and the cement floor had no odor or visible spots. I think I would try the vinegar in an unseen spot first if I was using it on hardwood floors and see what happens and maybe use white vinegar first. (I used brown vinegar on the basement floor) I also found a cleaner at a carpet store and I've forgotten the name of the cleaner but it was pricey. It was diluted with water also. It worked well but was too expensive for the area I had. Report Spam or Abuse Request: Dog Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors Post by lewis_admin (1256) | (04/01/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact My older, more dominant, dog is often peeing on our area carpet which invariably stains our hardwood floors, leaving a terrible urine smell. Can anyone recommend a "homemade" product that's not so costly or recommend one on the market? I've tried a few items such as "natures miracle" and "simple solution" but neither really takes the smell out. Also, if you know of an inexpensive medicine for my dog for this habit, I would like to know of that too. Thanks, Connie Bodine in Austin, TX Answers: RE: Dog Urine Smell on Hardwood Floors Just heard this on talk radio the other day... A man called in and said this is what professional "cleaners" use LIQUID DOWNEY FABRIC SOFTNER. He claims the swmell will NEVER come back. Good luck.
