While there are plenty of commercial products for removing urine stains and odors, you can use supplies from home and save yourself the expense.
Things You Will Need
-
Sop up as much of the urine as possible with paper towels. Discard soiled paper towels and change to fresh ones as necessary.
-
Tackle the remaining urine stain and odor by pouring 1/2 cup of white vinegar directly over the site of the urine stain. Use 1/4 cup less of the vinegar if the stain is very small and 1/4 cup more if you have a very large dog. Allow the white vinegar to sit on the stain for 10 minutes.
-
Pour 3 tbsp. of baking soda onto the white vinegar on your floor. The two ingredients will chemically react, causing some foaming action. This is not harmful to you, your dog or your tile floor.
-
Use paper towers to wipe up the baking soda and vinegar combination when it stops foaming. Rinse the area with a clean towel dampened in plain water. Allow your tile floor to air dry.
The Drip Cap
- No matter how old, young or well-trained your dog is, there will occasionally be urine accidents.
- Remove the urine and clean the tile as soon as possible, as this will prevent the urine from soaking into any porous tile materials.
- Use paper towers to wipe up the baking soda and vinegar combination when it stops foaming.
