Urine stains
Q: We have recently removed carpet from a house that I have lived in for 2 years. The carpet had been down for 10+ years and it was used by the previous owner’s dog as a bathroom. Under the carpet is hardwood, but is has urine stains. The carpet pad was stuck to the floor and some of the staples were rusted. Upon removing the pad and scrubbing the floor, there are light stains left by the mess. What do we need to do or use to restore the floor to the way it should be–pretty and unstained?
A: You may have to replace the floor to achieve a light colour. There is no way, short of sanding, to know if the stains can be removed. It doesn’t sound very hopeful.
