How do you get rid cat urine that has soaked into wood floors?
My aging cat peed repeatedly on my rug in my living room which went undetected for weeks. I've gotten the rug cleaned, but I am unsure of how to rid my hardwood floor of the stain and stench. Help, please!

How do you remove cat and raccoon urine smell from wood flooring?
We just bought a bank owned house that has inhabited with raccoons and cats for 3 years or more. Does anyone know how to get the smell out?
For the smell, go to your local pet store. They have a variety of products for that. Once that is fixed, you most likely will have to sand and refinish that area.
Thank you for your advice! Have a great day!
LeeAnne, I have 2 small dogs that go for the same spot. After cleaning the carpet several times, there was one large area that kept coming to the carpet surface I pulled back the rug and pour distilled white vinegar on the wood (natural cleaner). Swept it to get in the grooves. Turned on the dehumidifier. and waited until the wood was dried. Poured baking soda over the wood. Left on the wood and put carpet back. If you see your cats go near, pick them up take to another place. Play with cat toy and give small treat. Eventually they will not go near. If they do good and stay away from that spot, always give treat. If they don't no treat no play. Hope this might help. Colleen G Hutson
Yes, Nature’s Miracle. Live enzymes eat the urine. Will need to let them live long enough to do their job- as in keep the area saturated for 48 hours.
