Dog Pee Warped Laminate

by

My little dog misses his aim on the pee pad and wets on our laminated floor. Is there any way to fix it where its lifting, without replacing that panel ? Thank you in advance !

We seem to have some unwelcome Mickeys and Minnies in our house. What is the best way to get rid of them?

I want to remove my popcorn ceiling, but it has asbestos in it. How do I go about this safely?

How do I fill gaps at baseboard, should I caulk? If so, does anyone know how to caulk baseboards?

Is there anything I can do to get rid of the swollen seams on my laminated floors where my dog has left puddles?

it looks like water has raised the edges of my floor but i cant see how that happened what should i do? Cover it with rugs?

Simply pour baking soda over the affected area. Let the baking soda sit for two hours before vacuuming it up. You can also use a broom and dustpan to clean up the excess baking soda, but a vacuum cleaner will be fastest. The baking soda will both help remove odor and visible stains.

Scrub the floor.

Using an enzymatic urine cleaner, scrub the parts of the floor that the urine came into contact with. If you don’t have an enzymatic cleaner, baking soda and vinegar can both make cleaning solutions.

To use baking soda, you have two options for use. One is to sprinkle the baking soda directly on the floor and sweep or vacuum it up after 1–2 hours. The other option is to mix baking soda with warm water and create a paste that you can scrub the floor with. If you go the route of making a paste, allow it to sit for an hour or more and then use a wet towel to clean up the excess.

White or apple cider vinegar can be mixed with water in a 1:1 ratio and sprayed on the areas of the floor that the urine contacted. Use a scrub brush or towel to clean the area thoroughly. Allowing the vinegar solution to dry on the laminate flooring will help reduce odors.

Unless you are a quick draw on the mop; dog urine will damage laminate flooring, real wood flooring, engineered wood and tile grout.

If you have these types of floors you need to clean the spill/accident immediately to prevent damage to your flooring.

Unfortunately with a lot of flooring the pee will be absorbed into the floor itself or underneath and this is what can make the issue very difficult and expensive.

The solution: Floors For Paws Floors For Paws is 100% waterproof and hypo-allergenic. It will not absorb pee or allow it to seep through. You can rest assure that however long it is left on our flooring it will not stain or mark.

Tile Grout: If dog pee is absorbed into the grout lines you will need to apply a bleach solution to bring the grout back to white. If you are a dog owner it is advisable to use a dark coloured grouting, however the smell will impregnate all unsealed grout lines so cleaning can become a chore.

Choose a Washable Pad to Protect Your Floors from Dog Pee

Rather than filling up a dump with more non-biodegradable plastics, opt for washable, reusable pee pads. Not only do they wash up quickly with some borax, but they look much nicer on the floor. If your dog lives a good long life, they may need them again when they get old, so store them somewhere out of the way after your puppy learns to pee outdoors.

I prefer the KOOLTAIL Reusable Non-Slip Plaid Puppy Potty Training Pads from Amazon. The washable plaid pads look much more attractive than plastic pads, and I appreciate the non-slip treatment because it keeps the pad in place. You can pick some up by clicking right here.

You’ll save money in the long run by using the washable pads. I have two sets to get through more than a week at a time, in case I get too busy for laundry. Pre-treat them with a pet stain cleaner, or some baking soda, and tie them up in a plastic bag until you can wash them. Your nose will thank you, and they’ll look nice a lot longer.

You can also get a PetSafe Pet Loo Portable Indoor/Outdoor Dog Potty if you or your pup prefer fake grass. You can find them on Amazon by clicking here.
