Dog Pee Smell

[kellyindallas]

I passed on the house with the pool, too much maintenance and expenses for me to deal with, along with it already being on the edge of what I wanted to spend.

New issue: for some reason, a lot of dogs owners seem to have the problem of their dogs pissing in their house. I found a house today which is pretty much perfect in every way but a couple of things.

Dog peed on the carpet (cleaned, but you can see stain and smell it). Also, the dog appears to have peed on the wall in the master bedroom which also has hardwood floors. I suspect he probably peed on the hardwoods too. If I ripped out all the carpeting and the hardwood and replaced it, and used Kilz primer to seal it, would the smell be totally gone? It's not particularly bad but I don't want to move into a new house with any smell.

Thoughts?

Im sure you already know this - but you can get a black light and even cleaned pee will show up as a glowing spot. Make sure you turn the lights off for the light to work. In some rooms you will have to rip up the carpet and pad because a dog (if you have one) will be able to smell it and will likly pee on it as well. as for your hard woods they should be ok. hope this helps

Thanks, that's a good idea. I don't have any dogs, I have cats. Cat pee smell is worse but dog pee smell is gross, too. I have no problem taking up the carpet and pad. I guess I need to black light it to see where all he peed.

It would cost you alot less than having to refurbish a swimming pool.

I think it would be well worth it.

Its not that big of a deal .

I could probably get ppbart to fly over there and take a quick look for you.

Recipe for dog urine remover. If you?ve got the time and the patience, you can easily make your own dog urine cleaner. This method is not only good for removing dog urine, but also for getting rid of dog urine stains. First blot up as much of the urine as possible. Then mix 3 parts water to one part vinegar and saturate the spot. Next, blot it all up again. After it?s dried sprinkle the area with baking soda. Next stir ? cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide up with one tsp. dish detergent and drizzle over the baking soda. To make sure the hydrogen peroxide won?t discolor your carpet, first try this concoction on a small inconspicuous area. Next, use your fingers or an old brush to work the baking soda in. I recommend a hairbrush with little bits of plastic over the tips. Once it?s dry, vacuum it up. If there?s still a slight odor or a little bit of the stain left when done repeat the process.Dog Urine Cleaning Products


(yet highly effective) processes of home remedies for serious dog urine scrubbing. These days I frequently choose to clean dog urine with a good enzymatic cleaner such as Nature?s Miracle, Simple Solution, Capture Pet Stain and Odor Neutralizer or Complete Pet Stain and Odor Remover by 8in1. As with any good dog urine cleaning product, these will actually break down the stains and odor causing molecules instead of just masking the odor like so many of the cheaper sprays. These products also employ bacteria producing agents that continue to work until the dog pee smell is completely gone. Better yet, they?re ridiculously easy to find. Any pet store, online or otherwise, will carry some or all of the ones I suggested.

not sure why I feel so compelled to answer all of kels daily type problems.

from swimming pools to dog piss. I am always ready for a good car repair type question.

spent two hours finding this stuff

If I ever need a lawyer I hope you will be ready to jump in with both feet. As a matter of fact I am using lawyers now on a few cases.

Eddie Haskell has one of them. He insisted on a retainer. I sent him a thousand, he emailed me back and said I was short a thousand.

Awww, Scott, that's so nice. You have any contract/lease you want reviewed, I'm your woman. Any commercial real estate negotiations or drafting, I can help with that, too. I write especially nasty letters. I help a lot of friends who get screwed by businesses. The car mechanic/dealership who rips you off, the landlord who steals your deposit, etc...

I figured with this being such a manly site, we'd have plenty of people with knowledge in these areas...

I figured we have some guys who do interior remodel or who have simply handled this issue on their own.

A guy at work told me you can sand down the hardwoods and just refinish them.

I like to hear all the different possibilities. I know I would replace the carpet, it won't be much. I just think I need sealant to make sure the odor is sealed in. I have used Kilz before and it seems like it works great to me.

I just want to make sure before I replace flooring all smell is gone.

I think fdc one time said he was a interior decorator.

PS - if kosar comes in here starting any trouble.
Don't worry I will tell him to step off.

PSS - kosar does know alot about dog piss though

that was a good one :mj07:

just get new carpet, you don't want to have THAT in your new place. the wood floors are fine and the new carpet smell will take out the piss odor :SIB

But what if it soaked in the hard floors?

Will just getting new carpeting take care of the issue, Jack-o? What if it was repeated and got into the concrete? That's when I think it would need to be sealed.

 

[gardenweasel]

you could douse the spots with patchouli....guarantee you that you won`t even notice the doggie smell ever again..

Might want to pass on this place if people are letting their dogs piss on hardwood floors and it actually sits there long enuf to soak in hard oak with finish on it. Who knows where else this dog or dogs pissed or even shit for that matter.

How do you get dog urine out of hardwood floors?
The last tenant of my house had a dog that urinated on the hardwood floors. I have tried plenty of disinfectants and cleaners to get it out. I am at my wits end. If i dont get it out, I wont be able to rent it again.
..............................................................


That is easy you take vinger I know it smells. The dog wont ever go there again and it kill the order and smell. I use it all the time. the vinger smell will go away.

WASH IT WITH HOT WATER AND VINEGAR... OR HOT WATER AND ALCHOHOL...AND THEN LET IT DRY COMPLETELY...THEN ..THE PRODUCT SOLD ON LINE.... ZEO PET ODOR...THE ONE THAT COMES IN A WHITE BOTTLE....NOT THE SUBSTITUTES .AND YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO USE ALOT OF IT AND LET IT DRY COMPLETELY IN BETWEEN. APPLICATIONS....PUT IT ON AS DEEPLY AS THE PET SOAKED IT....... LET DRY .. THEN RE APPLY UNTIL ALL SMELL IS GONE COMPLETELY...ITS..."ZERO PET ODOR."......THIS DOES WORK ON EVERY INTENSE ANIMAL ODOR AND ALL OTHER ONES TOO.....

I don't think you are going to have any luck outside of actually replacing the floors if you want to get the urine out. Pergo is a nice replacement flooring. However, as much as it will suck to ruin such beautiful floors you can use Kilz to seal the odor and then paint the floors afterwards. Sorry, those are your only options to get rid of the odor once it has soaked into the flooring.


Murphy's Oil soap then a good wax and shine.

I would trust any of the above answers before I would even think about gw and sponge.

they are pretty much both not quite right if you catch my drift.

Kels,

I offered like 6 months ago to give you the phone number of my associates 'life advisor' and I haven't heard back. Perhaps we should revisit this?

You seem to once again have a lot of issues going on.

Hang tough.

Dear Vienna Sausage Boy,

Thank you, once again, for your kind words.

No issues, just looking for some expertise. I knew I could count on you, as usual, for some substantive advice.

Always,

Kels
