How to Remove Cat Urine Stains and Odors in Hardwood
Floors
There are two separate issues that need to be considered with pet urine in hardwood floors: stains
and odors. You either have odors only, or you have visible stains AND odors. In either case, for
dealing with the odors you will need to neutralize and contain the urine in the porous surface. For
the stains, you will need to remove the urine by using a dry powder method.
If you have visible urine stains, follow these directions to REMOVE the urine
stains:
Note: If you have urine odors only, skip this section go directly to the instruction on neutralizing
and containing the urine odors.
Step 1: Pre-mist the soiled areas with our Soil Release Pre-Mist provided in our Super Cat Urine
Cleaner Systems. Do not saturate the areas! Using the Applicator Brush provided in the system,
thoroughly work the Soil Release Pre-Mist into the stained area. This helps to release stubborn
old/dry urine stains.
Step 2: Apply our UrineOut™ Powder. Work the powder into the soiled area with the Applicator
Brush using a circular motion. Begin at the outer edge of the soiled area and work inward. Allow the
powder to dry thoroughly.
Step 3: Thoroughly vacuum the UrineOut™ Powder out of the area. At this point the powder is now
holding the urine and odors.
Follow these directions to NEUTRALIZE and CONTAIN the odors:
You have ONE rule to follow to eliminate urine odors in hardwood floors: Contain the source of
the odor. That is, sealing the urine into the hardwood floor.
Step 1: Locate the areas where visible the pet urine stains or odors are noticeable. If you can't see
any stains, but you can smell the urine odor, then you need to use a our Odor Detector Blacklight to
locate these areas.
Step 2: Clean the hardwood floor thoroughly by spraying our Smells No-More!™ Odor Eliminator
directly onto the soiled areas. Wipe clean with a sponge and water. This step kills all of the bacteria
and germs and disinfects the areas. This is critical. Clean and allow the areas to dry thoroughly.
Smells No-More!™ Odor Eliminator is the most effective cat urine odor eliminator you'll ever use... it
works! Smells No-More!™ Odor Eliminator is the new standard for safe and easy pee odor control...
available in a money saving gallon size bottle!
Step 3: Apply 3 more applications of Smells No-More!™ Odor Eliminator, allowing it to dry
completely between each application. This will ensure that you have killed ALL of the bacteria. This
will also clean and prepare the hardwood floor surface for the next step.
Step 4: Treat the areas with No-P!™ Housebreaking Aid to remove urine SCENTS. When sprayed on
the soiled area, No-P!™ Housebreaking Aid will keep any other pets from resoiling in the areas.
i would try orange glo cause the comercials say it can clean anything
I'm sorry to tell you this but, once the urine soaks into the wood, you can't get the stain out. You could try sanding but usually the wood is saturated through. You see this alot in older homes where some kind of moisture has seeped into the wood and it leaves black spots. You would be better off replacing the slats of wood that are stained.
Try to clean the area with Murphy's oil soap which will help put the natural oil back in the wood that the urine took out then old gold finisher polish as an extra pull to the natural wood oils
