Sherrie on Nov 25, 2014There is a wood bleach you use. You will have to sand the poly or sealer off and follow the directions on wood bleach. Then seal it. You can only do the areas you have spots. Hope that helps a little.Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Nov 25, 2014From my experience, you will most likely have to replace that part of the floor. The previous owners of our home had animals that did their business on the hardwoods and I tried everything. The black on top is most likely all the way through the wood. once the urine ate through the sealer/poly then the wood absorbed the odor. Sounds like the cat did this for a length of time. sorry for the bad news.Helpful Reply
