Thread: Removing Cat's Pee from floor boards

Just wait - the smell fades - eventually!!!

12 Gauge!!

White vinegar (the other ones stain).

G'day.
I second the white vinegar.
It works well.
You could then use the follow up process of the 12 Guage to prevent further problems.

Hooroo.

A can of petrol (any type) and a match should do it. Then rebuild.

I can just pciture next week's thread:
How do I get rid of the smell of vinegar?

I like the 12 gauge idea but I know a guy whose brother used that solution on cats that were fighting and mating under his house every night.
He wasn't sure what was worse, having a whole cat under the house or bits of one.
Failing that, vanilla seems to be a good cure for smells.

I was told by a carpet installer to spray a mixture of water and detol or something like that on the area. I don't know how great that will be on a wooden floor but for carpet it worked a treat!!!

(It was for a plumbing overflow... *Shudders*)

I've used a product called Intergain Revia, its a floor cleaning product, designed for cleaning the timber on floors before applying the stain. I had some 50 year old water stains in the timber near my kitchen sink, and it did not a bad job of removing them. It's available at bunnings

There is a product available at most supermarkets called "nilodor" or "nilodour" or something very close. Small dark bottle very concentrated. It is the only stuff I know of that can get rid of the smell without trying to just cover it up (I needed it after I left my car window open overnight one night and a cat decided to climb in). A cat lover put me on to it as they used it all the time. Personally the 12 gauge approach appeals more...

No idea about leaving marks on boards though, fine on car upholstery. As the labels say, test on an inconspicuous place first.

Beat me to the draw Termite, best to rough the surface with a wire brush first though

Consider this as a greenie. I must have given you one recently - good suggestion.

I can reccomend the Nilodor also. Years ago I had a lounge reupholstered, drove it home on the back of the ute and parked it in the carport. While I was bringing the first piece in the next door neighbour's cat decided that one of the sections was better than kitty litter! :mad: The Nilodor cleared the smell after a few weeks, but it had soaked right into the foam, should be much easier on a timber floor.
