Dog Pee Stains On Wood Floor

Dog pee stains on wood floors can be a frustrating problem. The uric acid in dog urine can penetrate the wood and cause permanent damage if not treated promptly. There are a few different ways to remove dog pee stains from wood floors, depending on the severity of the stain.

For fresh stains, blot up as much of the urine as possible with a clean cloth. Then, mix a solution of one part white vinegar to one part water. Apply the solution to the stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Blot up the solution and rinse the area with clean water. If the stain is still visible, you can repeat the process.

For older stains, you may need to use a stronger cleaning solution. Mix one part hydrogen peroxide to one part water. Apply the solution to the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Blot up the solution and rinse the area with clean water. If the stain is still visible, you can repeat the process.

If the stain is particularly stubborn, you may need to use a commercial wood cleaner. Follow the instructions on the product label carefully. Be sure to test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not damage the finish on your wood floor.

Once you have removed the stain, be sure to seal the area with a polyurethane finish. This will help to protect the wood from future stains.
