Pet urine removal?

Question

Occasionally my dogs have an accident on the kitchen linoleum, and when I clean it up it leaves a bleached like spot. How can I clean my floor so i don't have spots all over the place? I never realized their urine would be so strong as to strip floors!
The linoleum is old and I've tried bleach, Pine Sol and other cleaners of that nature to no avail. It doesn't smell, just spots! Help!!

As I have previously stated there is NO smell or odor just spots! How can I clean the rest of my floor to look that clean where the dog has gone? (and don't tell me to remove my dogs)

TILE FLOOR NOT CARPET!

Answer 1

Unfortunately your dog's urine has striped the finish off your flooring. You could try using a wax for linoleum that can be bought at your local grocery store.
I had an old floor and it was dull from many years of traffic, and this wax for no wax floors helped brighten the whole floor. This type of wax doesn't build and you don't have to strip it.
Good Luck!!!!!

Answer 2

I had a similar problem but with dog urine odor in carpets. This is the procedure I followed, except I omitted the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide.

Never use ammonia or ammonia-based products to clean dog/cat urine. One of the ingredients of pet urine is ammonia and your pet may well be encouraged to re-offend in the same area if it detects the smell of ammonia. Many household cleaners contain ammonia, so be sure to read the label. Remember, your dog/cat's sense of smell is a hundred times better than yours.

HOMEMADE RECIPE to get rid of that pet urine odor.

DOG URINE SMELL & STAIN REMOVER

Baking Soda
White Vinegar
Dishwashing Detergent
3% Hydrogen Peroxide
DIRECTIONS:

1. If the area is still wet you should first attempt to absorb the dog urine. Leaving it there to dry out will only encourage bacterial growth, which causes the smell. On carpets the best method is to place several layers of paper towel over the wet area and tread on it so as to soak up as much of the dog urine as you possibly can. You may have to repeat this several times until no more urine can be soaked up.
Sometimes dog urine accidents have already dried because you did not notice them previously. You can find dried urine patches on your carpet with the aid of a black light. The dog urine stains will fluoresce under the ultra violet light in a darkened room. Hand held black lights are quiet inexpensive usually costing between $15 - $25

2. The next step is to mix a solution of fifty percent white vinegar and fifty percent water. You must use a liberal amount of this solution to reach the carpet fibers deep down. Work the solution in with a scrubbing brush to ensure it penetrates the carpet fibers below. Now blot the area again using the paper towel method above. The vinegar will neutralize the ammonia in the dog urine. This area must now be allowed to dry which you can assist by using a fan or opening the windows.

3. When the area has dried sprinkle a good handful of baking soda over the soiled area.
Mix half a cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide with a teaspoon of detergent.
Ordinary dishwashing detergent is quite suitable.
Put on a pair of rubber gloves and slowly pour the hydrogen peroxide and detergent mixture over the baking powder. Work the dissolving baking soda well into the carpet, first with your fingers and then with a scrubbing brush.

Once again allow the area to dry completely and then vacuum thoroughly.
In areas that have been heavily soiled with dog urine you may have to repeat the process again.
CAUTION:
Use only 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
Test your carpet for color fastness in an area that won't show.

The spots that are already there unfortunatly will not be able to be removed. When the dog pees on the floor be sure to tell them no and show them the mess on the floor. Then clean the floor with vinegar. It takes away the smell which is the reason the dog keeps going on the floor.

Answer 4

You might have to replace the flooring... You can always use the stick on floor tiles and redo the floor it's inexpensive and easy to replace tiles if they get soiled.. Also, you might want to consider why your pets have an accident in the kitchen.. Our dog is not allowed in the kitchen it's where we prepare food and eat. Gross..... Can you install a doggie door ? Or crate train your pets.... Then pee pee won't be a problem.. My dog(s) don't have accidents in the house....

Answer 5

After you use that white wine to blend colors, get a really good floor wax and apply it in several layers, so perhaps the dog urine will not penetrate. . . get that pooch trained. . .

Answer 6

I would try the white wine like the other reader said. The natural acids in the wine should take out that stain.

Answer 7

The most efficient way to remove urine odor is to remove the pet. Phew!!

Answer 8

This method is simple and 100% accurate. Take the damn animal out of the home. The home is for people not ANIMALS.

Answer 9
