How to Get Urine Smell Out of Wood Floors?

Blot up any fresh urine immediately with paper towels or a clean cloth

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water

Lightly dampen a cloth with the solution and wipe the affected area

Dry the floor completely with clean towels

Sprinkle baking soda over the area and let it sit for several hours

Vacuum or sweep up the baking soda

Use an enzymatic cleaner made for pet urine on the affected spot

Follow the product instructions exactly

Wipe away any residue with a slightly damp cloth

Dry the wood thoroughly after cleaning

Repeat the enzymatic treatment if the smell remains

If urine has soaked into seams or under the finish, sand and refinish the area if needed

If the odor persists in subflooring, remove damaged boards and clean the subfloor

Avoid soaking wood floors with excess liquid

Test any cleaner on a hidden area first
