Remove Cat Urine Odor and Stains from Your Hardwood Floors


Good Old Fashioned Bleach: After we had scrubbed and scrubbed with the peroxide, we had successfully tamed most of the stains and more importantly lifted the smell. However, there still seemed to be this lingering odor about the house that needed to be addressed as well as some stubborn black stains that needed to be removed. Some friends brought out their parents and suggested a good treatment of bleach water. We obliged. We mixed about 3 parts bleach with 7 parts water in a bucket. We then covered every floor with a healthy coat of the potent mixture. (I would strongly advise a mask and goggles for this job. Also be sure to be working in a very well ventilated environment when working with any chemical.) We returned to the house about 3 hours after treating the floors with the bleach. The smell was gone!... cat urine removal .


The remaining stains left will be easily removed with a sander. And any remaining odor will be permanently sealed into the floor with polyurethane. If you have a similar odor problem I highly recommend these products, but be aware that different floors may react differently. It is imperative to test out each product in an inconspicuous area to see if it is safe for your home. I would be sure to remove any children or pets from the house when using these potent chemicals as well. Be cautious and smart and you'll find yourself with the hardwood floors that you had been hoping for.... cat urine removal.
