I have a dog and he is peeing on the hardwood floors. How can I get the urine scent out? I had a rug there previously and he peed on that. I had to throw it away and the urine scent has never left. I have tried everything. Please help.

I have used a product called "Urine Gone" with success.
Use an enzyme cleaner for pet urine (whether shop-bought or homemade) that breaks down the urine, not just kill the microbes that are acting on the urine. If you just kill the microbes but don't break down the urine, more microbes will move in later and work on the urine, generating a new smell. Anything labeled as an "enzyme cleaner" should do this.
Soak the area thoroughly. A common problem with home urine removal is that people don't soak the soiled area as thoroughly as the original urine soaked it. If you think about it, there is no way that anything that doesn't penetrate as far as the urine did can possibly remove all the smell, because it simply doesn't get far enough to remove it! So whatever you use, use a lot of it.
Natures Remedy is good and I have had great luck with Fizzion.
Soak paper towels in hydrogen peroxide and leave it on the hardwood area for a good hour. You can see the urine (yellow) on the paper towel!
Note: this will lighten the stain of your hardwood; but the smell will be GONE.
I am going to try this today. I just pulled up a runner I had no idea was so soaked in urine. The smell is so strong after pulling up the rug. YUCK
Didn it it work? We had a rug over the padding..the dog ruined it..hardwood flooring underneath and now there are spots of stained from her urine.
