How do I get mouse urine smell out of a piece of antique oak furniture?

Answer 1

There are products sold in pet shops and vet's that are specifically designed to take out urine odor.

Answer 2

White may be a bit too much but it all depends on what kind of statement you want to make. It could look very nice. If I were you I would go with a softer color. Yellow and oak are both soft and warm, the black furniture makes it pop from within, I would do a cream color trim. Not white but off white which will not take away from the furniture or compete with it but still make a statement and blend in nicely. Textured crown molding is a really nice idea too, something with like a tooth trim would also add character to the room rather than just the plain smooth trim. Good luck.

Answer 3

Carefully clean the surface of the furniture with something like Murphy's oil soap and allow it to air out. Make sure that you thoroughly clean every nook and cranny and use a soft toothbrush to gently clean in the corners and cracks in the wood. If this doesn't get rid of it, try to isolate the area and the put som baking soda on it for a couple of days. You can try the products from the pet store to remove the urine odor but test a small amount of the product on the underside of a shelf or a leg to make sure that it doesn't damage the finish or the wood. If all else fails, consult with an antique dealer or a carpenter in your area for suggestions. Good luck.

Answer 4

A lot of good products will get it somewhat out. I always use a little urine neutraliozer you can get at the pet store. If you are worried about damageing the antique.... I would rent an Ozone generator and put the chair in a closet with the generator for a day or two. That would help the smell greatly. i know it also works for smoke smell.
