Instructions 1 Wipe up as much urine as you can with a paper towel. 2 Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. 3 Spray the urine stain with the spray bottle so a good amount of white vinegar covers the area. 4 Rub a soft cloth in a circular motion over the white vinegar. 5 Dampen another cloth with warm water and use it to clean off the vinegar. 6 Blot a paper towel over the area to dry.

1. Wipe the area with a damp cloth to remove debris and surface stains. Dry. 2. Sprinkle on baking soda and very gently work it into the space between laminate plans with a stiff-bristled brush or toothbrush. Do not scrub the area — you don’t want to rub off the protective coating. Let that sit for a few minutes to soak up any possible moisture. 3. Spray lightly with white vinegar and watch it foam. The same acid-base reaction that makes baking soda and vinegar great at cleaning drains also helps dissolve pet stains and lift them from the sub floor. Meanwhile, the vinegar neutralizes the scent that draws pets back to the spot. 4. Wipe dry and spray with vinegar again to activate any remaining baking soda, then clean the area with a different damp cloth to remove the vinegar. 5. Blow-dry the area to ensure the sub floor is dry. This will also let you know if there’s any urine remaining behind — you’ll smell it if you didn’t get all the pee out. In that case, wait a day to let the sub floor completely dry, then repeat steps 1-4. Note: Saturating the sub floor will cause your laminate to warp! 6. Refinish the area if needed. Urine is surprisingly acidic and can greatly damage your laminate’s protective coating over time. Fortunately, most manufacturers sell an easily-applied refinishing kit.
