Dog Urine Soaked Into Wood Floor

If your dog has urinated on your wood floor, it is important to act quickly to clean it up and prevent damage. Dog urine is acidic and can damage the finish on your floor, and it can also leave behind a strong odor. Here are some steps on how to clean dog urine from a wood floor:

1. Blot up as much of the urine as possible with a clean cloth or paper towels. Do not rub, as this can spread the urine and make it more difficult to clean.

2. Mix a solution of one part white vinegar to one part water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the affected area and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes.

3. Blot up the solution with a clean cloth or paper towels.

4. Rinse the area with clean water and blot it dry.

5. If the odor persists, you can try using a commercial pet odor eliminator. Follow the directions on the product label.

If the urine has soaked through the finish on your floor, you may need to sand and refinish the area. This is a more difficult and time-consuming process, but it is the only way to completely remove the stain and odor.

Here are some additional tips for preventing dog urine from damaging your wood floor:

• Train your dog to go potty outside. This is the best way to prevent accidents from happening.

• If your dog does have an accident, clean it up immediately. The longer the urine sits on the floor, the more damage it can do.

• Use a pet-safe floor cleaner to clean your floor regularly. This will help to remove any residual urine or odor.

• Consider using a sealant on your floor. This will help to protect it from damage caused by urine and other spills.
