what can I use on hard wood and the partical board(under carpet) to get rid of that urine smell?

Question

I have several dogs! Im not sure but isnt partical board that wood thats under the carpet.

Answer 1

Carpet padding is usually under carpet in homes. Under that can be plywood or cement. To get rid of the smell under the carpet, you'd have to pull the carpet. The amount of effort it would take to pull that carpet and to re-install it would be tremendous, and it wouldn't have any guarantees of getting the smell out. You'd be better off getting new carpet & padding.

Answer 2

That is a tough one. We purposely didn't buy a home because of that problem. I am assuming you can rip of the padding and carpet, and use either a bleach and water solution, or even those dog urine cleaners. Either way, I think once it's absorbed in the wood, the smell is always there. Sorry.

Answer 3

We bought a house that was completely horrible with cat pee.the only way to get the smell out(And I tried everything) Was to get rid of the carpet and paint the floor underneath with pro blocker(oil based paint from Sherman Williams) You have to use the oil based the other did not work.I used 2 coats on the floor and put down new carpet and can't smell a thing anymore.
Good luck!

Answer 4

That's a tough one. I think the only way to get rid of the smell is to replace the padding and carpet

Answer 5

Sprinkle dry baking soda around, let set overnight then vacuum. Not much is going to get it out of carpets. The carpet AND PAD are causing the odor.

Answer 6

When my cats urinated on my hardwood floors i used febreeze. I absolutely soaked the area and let it dry with a fan blowing on it. The cats never went there again.

Answer 7

Pinesol. and perhaps Bleach.....
