What to useget urine smell out of wood floors-have tryed perioxide mouth wash & fabric softener store products

Straight vinegar. Let it set on the spots for a 1/2 hour, and cover it with a damp cloth. Another choice is going to pet smart and getting,'; natures miracle'; Don't follow the instructions, pour it straight onto the floor where the urine is and cover with a damp cloth for 24 hours, then wipe away the next day and the smell will be gone. Oh, natures miracle has an enzyme that eats up the urine and neutralizes it. See even BERT below me knows what she's talking about. So the thumbs down don't matter, we are right!!! Confused by is right also!!:) LA is also correct!!!What to useget urine smell out of wood floors-have tryed perioxide mouth wash %26amp; fabric softener store products
I'm with ,confused by court order. Natures Miracle is an enzyme that will actually eat the substance of the urine away and it is gone. It isn't instant, it takes a couple of days because of the way it works. It also comes in 2 formulas. One is especially for cat urine (you didn't specify). That was my problem and cat urine is the hardest to get rid of. I cleaned the wood first with TSP (Savogran brand, the others are diluted) then used the Natures miracle and you can't smell it any more. My case was severe. I have a cat in advanced stages of diabetes and she practically ruined my house.What to useget urine smell out of wood floors-have tryed perioxide mouth wash %26amp; fabric softener store products
ODORCIDE, google it.
Get an enzyme cleaner from the pet store that is made for eliminating pet odors - the enzymes will literally eat away the uric acid and/or ammonia that are causing the pee smell to linger.
We had the same problem. We tried EVERYTHING! The cure was waxing the floor. We have hardwoods with a wax finish and it was not until I re-waxed ( which I held off doing because of the odor ) that the smell went away.





If you have a polyurethane finish, strip the floor and re-finish it.
Try Nature's Miracle Stain and Odor Remover found in most pet stores.
It depends on the urine - if it is from a cat you may try ammonia. This is because cat pee naturally oxides into ammonia, which is why it smells so horrible, but also allows you to use the universal ';like dissolves like'; rule of cleaning.





Otherwise, use bleach. Test it on the wood, to make sure that it does not destroy the floor, but if all is ok, mop the whole floor with undilluted bleach, and plan on being out of the house for a while. Again, do not do this with cat pee, as ammonia and bleach together produce chlorine gas, which will make you very ill (if not dead!).
