How to remove human urine odor from a wood floor.?

Question

We removed the carpet and padding and still smell the odor. Any ideas?

Answer 1

try this stuff called Approach. It's used in hospitals and with incontinents who have to deal with that kind of odor.

Pour it right on the wood (and for that matter pour it on the carpet and padding) and it should help remove the stain as well as completely eliminate the odor.

There are no harsh chemicals so it won't damage the wood or the carpet/padding and it won't hurt anyone who gets it on them. I used it on my carpet constantly when I was housebreaking my dog. (urine is urine it'll do the job fine with human as well)

give it a shot. I know it'll work.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Febreeze and pet store supplied odor removers break down the urea in the stained area, this results in permanent odor removal. These mild chemicals have been widely available for about 10 years and work well. Acids, like vinegar, will have some effect but products specifically made for urine odor work better.
I've been through it all: caring for an elderly parent, raising my own toddlers and cleaning up after pets.

Answer 3

The ideal solution for removing a urine stain from a wood floor is to sand and refinish it, since it is very difficult to match up the floor finish once you have treated a urine stain in the wood. However, you can still try. To remove urine stains and odors from your wood floor, first blot the area with an absorbent cloth to remove any excess urine. The newest technology uses peroxide and detergents to penetrate the soiled area to remove the stain and deactivate the odor. Simply spray a product such as PAWS - Pet Accident Washup Solution on the soiled area, and then allow it to penetrate for approximately five minutes. Wipe clean. Another option to try is to wipe the stained area with cool water; blot dry. Next, blot the stained area with undiluted white vinegar. Wipe again with cool water and blot dry. With either of the above methods, do not saturate the wood or allow any liquid to stand on the surface for any length of time. Wipe with cool water and blot dry.

Answer 4

Pouring vinegar directly on the wood should remove the odor. If the area has been subjected to prolonged saturation of urine, you may have to replace the floor board.
