Hey! I know how stressful that can be, especially with hardwood floors. I found an article on Sidewalk Dog that gives a step-by-step best way to clean dog urine from floors. First, you should wipe up as much as possible right away. Then, use a mix of vinegar and water, but don’t let it sit too long on wood, as it can damage the finish. Another great option is a dish soap and warm water mixture, which can break down the urine without harming the surface. If the smell has already soaked into the wood, you might need an enzyme-based cleaner designed for hardwood floors. The article also suggests using a pet-safe deterrent spray to keep your dog from marking the same spot again. It’s definitely worth a read! Hope this helps!
