Best way to clean dog urine out of laminate hardwood flooring?
We have lived here for 9 months and tonight I got home a lot later than expected and there was a puddle on the laminate. ![]() I've never had laminate hardwood flooring before...I don't want to ruin it!

It's probably fine. If it were me, I'd wait until tomorrow and see if there's a smell. If there is, I'd spray it with Nature's Miracle, wait a bit, and wipe it off. It should be just fine.

I don't know what kind it is. I wish I did. The house had been flipped when we bought it, all the flooring was new. This is the first big "spill" on it.
I read online to sprinkle baking soda over it and let it set for a few hours. I figure that can't hurt as long as I don't rub it...so It's been sitting for awhile. I'll use the sweeper before I go to bed and suck up the baking soda...and then see if it smells tomorrow I guess. I just don't want any of the animals smelling it and thinking they should go there. All of our animals are completely potty trained...no accidents. I felt bad for our dog tonight, this was my fault. I just misjudged how long it had been since she went out and when the last person was home. :/ ---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ---------- https://photos.app.goo.gl/dRGCAhBt8hDpcgfw7 Here's a picture of it.

If it is laminate you cant use much of anything wet on it. It ruins it. Better to spray a cloth with the enzyme spray and wipe it and then wipe it dry

It's hard to tell from a picture but I'm guessing it's laminate. But I could be completely wrong!
Laminate is NOT wood. You can usually tell by touching it and looking at the seams. I have waterproof laminate and that's very common, now. Did they leave any extra flooring pieces? We have some extra in the garage and that's how I know what I have. But, no matter what it is, misting it is fine. How are you doing regular cleaning?

It is laminate for sure. I just don't know what kind. I think it might be waterproof...but we have no extra of it and I don't if I can contact the previous owner or not. I'm sure I have his name in all the paperwork. Hmm.
I cleaned it up by spraying vinegar water on it the other night a few times. Then when it was dry I sprinkled baking soda over it and let it sit for a few hours. Then used the hose nozzle and sucked it up. I got on amazon and ordered Nature's Miracle that is specifically for hardwood/laminate and other floors. It came today so I plan on spraying that on their, making sure it gets down in the seams and then wiping it dry. I don't really smell anything when I sniff right on it, so that's good. I really hope that takes care of any smell in here. I know when it's hot and humid smells tend to come out, so I guess I'll find out.
