how can i get can smell/pee out of wood?

Question

my cat decided several times that he wanted to pee in a corner of my kitchen that is wood and tile. i've done my best with regular cleaners. i've tried the pet enzyme odor cleaners, and they don't seem to work. i've also tried baking soda and it doesn't work. this is an apartment and i need my security deposit back. what should i do?

Answer 1

Hi there...consider using Nature's Miracle found worldwide at any pet store. It's an enzymatic neutralizer and works by thoroughly soaking the affected areas to allow to air dry. Heavily soiled areas need repeated applications.

Answer 2

Hi
The pet enzyme should work. The main reason that it fails is that people just sprays it on and wipe it up and not let it soak into the floor like the urine did. You may need to do this 3 or 4 times. Just reminder that the urine treatment product needs to go where the urine went for it to work properly.

I am assuming you are talking hardwood floors? Have you tried a 50% hot water and 50% hot white vinegar solution and rubbing it into the wood with a rag? You might need to repeat it a few time but let it dry very well in between. You may eventually get a slight discoloration but you can fix that will a light waxing over on just that area with a bit of stain color added to it. Should do the trick!

I don't know if this will work on cat urine, but it works on skunk smell... It may work on cat smell too:

1/4 c Baking soda
2 tsp Dishwashing liquid
1 quart Hydrogen Peroxide

Scrub the area well with the solution.

I hope it helps!

Answer 5

pool Chlorine. use it full strength and just pour it on,no scrubbing nec.. open the windows and keep the kitty away from it for a while. you may need to repeat but it works great on cat/dog pee. i had to do it before we got new carpet. worked great. you could bleach it also. be sure to test a small area first. good luck

Answer 6

You should pee in the corner of your kitchen, mixing to different kinds of urine will nutrilize the odors and will also show the cat that it is no longer his territory.

Answer 7

If your cat doesn't do it again it will take about 2 months for the smell to go away completely. Try vinegar sometimes that will work when other stuff won't.

Answer 8

You should have stopped it in the beginning. That's so nasty. I moved into a house where this catwoman did the same thing. It took months to go away. But when it rained you could smell it. I wanted to kick the sh*t out of her. Just gross.

Vinager and water spary it down and let it dry
