Animal accidents on wood flooring....

Question

I believe that my old dog had a few accidents on my wood flooring in the hallway, and every now and then I think I might smell a trace of urine. It has been cleaned many times, there are no apparent stains, but on a humid day there is just this slight smell.... Is there any solution that will not remove the finish on the floor, or am I going to just have to replace it?

Have you tried Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer? I don't have any pets, but I have friends who swear by it: http://www.wag.com/dog/p/natures-miracle-urine-destroyer-115559

Sarah, I recently tried  a product called ODOban.  I have one  89lb  & one 103 lb dog  that have their own door to the outside where they can do what they want to to do  anytime.   It is a fake grass area with underlying stones.  It is the best product I ever used.  I am very careful what I use around my best friends. I think I purchased it on Amazon.

Thank you for the ideas! I have not had much luck with Nature's Miracle but they do have a product for wood flooring now, so I will give it another try-- then probably move on to these other suggestions. Thanks so much!

on the humid days try baking soda

baking soda does work, it will obsorb the scent I usually leave it on my hardwood floor overnight then vacuum it up in the morning. It helps for the odor.

Order a UV light. They're not expensive at all. Be prepared for some shock if you shine it on your mattress. (It illuminates most bodily fluids)!
