Floor Cleaning Tips
The ideal solution for removing a urine stain from a wood floor is to sand and refinish it, since it is very difficult to match up the floor finish once you have treated a urine stain in the wood. However, you can still try. To remove urine stains and odors from your wood floor, first blot the area with an absorbent cloth to remove any excess urine. Then, simply spray a product such as PAWS – Pet Accident Washup Solution or a dilution of Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate on the soiled area. Allow it to penetrate for approximately 5 minutes. Wipe clean. Do not saturate the wood or allow any liquid to stand on the surface for any length of time. If the stain remains and the urine has deeply penetrated the wood, there will be no choice but to sand it down and refinish. This may be best left to a professional.
Stains can be removed from your linoleum and vinyl floors, by simply spraying Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate on the soiled area, and then allowing it to penetrate for approximately 5 minutes. Wipe clean. Baking soda can be sprinkled on the soiled area, in combination with Bio-OX, for a more abrasive action. For hard to remove stains, make a paste of baking soda and Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate. Apply the paste to the stain. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then scrub. Rinse thoroughly.
The most effective way to remove mold or mildew from vinyl and linoleum is to kill it with chlorine bleach. Spray it with a solution of bleach and water, scrub, then rinse thoroughly. If the area is not bleach-safe, use a dilution of Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate. Simply spray it on, wait 15 minutes, then rinse.
