# How To Clean Dog Pee on Hardwood Floors Safely
Cleaning up your pet’s mess is often no biggie; even a potty-trained pooch can have accidents....
**Cleaning up your pet’s mess is often no biggie; even a potty-trained pooch can have accidents. However, your precious Fido might choose a spot that’s just as precious to have his accident — such as taking a piddle on the polished surface of your hardwood floor. Whether you’ve adopted a new pup and want to be prepared, or you have a sticky situation on your hands, here’s what to know about how to clean dog pee on hardwood floors.**
## How Does Dog Urine Affect Hardwood Floors?
Hardwood floors are exceptionally durable, but they’re also prone to damage when exposed to water, harsh cleaning chemicals and some of the naturally occurring chemicals in dog urine. The damage from dog pee depends on whether you have sealed floors — finished floors with a protected coat on top — or unsealed floors, meaning no finished coat.
Dog urine is typically [acidic](https://www.msdvetmanual.com/clinical-pathology-and-procedures/diagnostic-procedures-for-the-private-practice-laboratory/urinalysis), which is why it can break down the finish of a hardwood floor’s surface; especially if the urine is allowed to dry up. It might leave a stain on the surface, make it lose its shine and cause discoloration. If you have an unsealed floor, dog urine can penetrate deeper into the wood and leave a persistent and unpleasant odor. If the odor isn't completely eliminated and the area becomes [a regular piddle spot](https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/dog-marking-and-peeing-house), the constant exposure to urine may ultimately cause the wood to warp.
Keep in mind that many cleaning products that are labeled “safe to use on hardwood floors” are not always 100% effective in removing dog urine stains and odor, and they may still cause some discoloration on your wood’s finish.
## The Steps to Cleaning Dog Pee on Hardwood Floors
You have to act fast. It’s essential to clean dog pee before it dries out and soaks deep into the wood. And you have to make sure that you clean up all the spots on the floor where the urine has splashed. Dried-up dog urine may stain the floor and leave that pungent, characteristic odor. At that point, eliminating the stain and odor may require methods prone to cause some damage to your floor (more on that later).
### **Step 1: Soak Up the Urine on Your Floor**
The first step is to immediately soak up the puddle by placing a thick wad of paper towels or cleaning towels on the mess. Keep sopping up the urine with fresh towels until a towel comes up dry. Finish wiping off the area with a cloth dampened with water and then dry it off with a fresh towel.
### **Step 2: Eliminate the Urine Stain and Odor**
- To clean up small pee spots, mineral spirits are generally safe to use on hardwood floors, although they may leave a residue on the surface.
- Citrus oil-based cleaners are preferable to mineral spirits and are best used to clean areas that are not exposed to sunlight. Over time, these may still dull the finish of your floor, especially when combined with some or a lot of sun exposure.
- Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda may be popular options for cleaning urine stains and removing odor on hardwood floors, but keep in mind that this blend will almost certainly cause discoloration and can even stain the finish and the wood itself. Your floor may require additional treatments, including sanding, refinishing and staining to restore its look.
- [Skout’s Honor Pet Stain & Odor Remover](https://www.skoutshonor.com/products/pet-stain-and-odor-remover) is safe for finished wood floors, but avoid using it on unfinished wood.
**Why Choose Skout’s Honor for Dog Urine Stains on Hardwood Floors?**
Skout’s Honor products are mineral and plant-derived, free from sulfates, parabens, and harsh chemicals. Our eco-friendly solutions are rapidly biodegradable, manufactured under the California Green Chemistry Initiative, and safe for use around pets, family, and home.
Whether your pet is a new addition or a long-time companion, accidents on hardwood floors can happen. With the right knowledge and products, you can clean up quickly and maintain the beauty of your floors.
