| What To Use To Clean Pee Off Lineolium? What do you all use to clean your lineolium floors after they pee on them? I have been using vinegar water for the carpet but what takes the odor out of the lineolium floors? |

| You could try the vinegar water. Or, go to PetsMart and get some "Get Serious" stain and odor extractor. There is also Nature's Miracle and several other brands of urine odor remover.

| Thanks. We don't have a Pet Smart but our local Pet Store might have the Nature's Miracle, I will check. |

| Hi I just use good old bleach on a damp sponge. Keep one in a bucket ready to use! Good luck.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Bleach kills germs, but isn't effective on removing the "odor" that makes dogs return to the same spot. Any of the pet cleaners that have an enzyme in them will work because the enzyme actually "eats" the protein that is causing the odor. You can't smell this, but they can. Actually, if they were going to have a mistake, I would rather it be on the linoleum rather than the carpet, and the enzyme cleaners are really necessary for carpets.

| Thanks, I thought about bleach. Hopefully once I get it cleaned, I won't have pee on the floors anymore because Dudley doesn't pee up here. We just found a new home for Miley. Due to my DD's allergies, we found her a new home. She was the one peeing on the floors. Dudley uses the basement and outside so I want to get the floors cleaned from her and then just do my once a week cleaning on the floors since there won't be any pee on them. I just used vinegar water to get them cleaned for now. Miley just left to go to her new home. I am very sad but it is for the best, I have to think about my DD too and hives are no fun. We still have Dudley, she is fine around him, his hair is the silky type and Miley's was course and I think Dudley's hair is the only type she can be around with her allergies.

| You can just keep it really simple and take a paper towel to blot up the pee then spray a little Nature's Miracle and wipe with another paper towel. Floors won't hold odors like a carpet. You could even just use a drop of liquid soap and water to wipe up as well. |

| Someone on here said she uses Odoban.(I think she shows Yorkies) I picked up a gallon from Home Depot to try it out and I want to tell you it's the best I've ever used. I even mixed some up, put in spray bottles and put under the kitchen and bathroom sinks to clean with. It smells wonderful. |

| I use the kennel cleaner concentrate from PETEDGE.com , it is the "winter grreen" also comes in cherry i buy the gallon , diluted it kills bacteria viruses, disinfects and gets rid of anything dog related... well, smells clean is unexpensive.... hehehe it seems that i am advertising... Anyways, those are my reasons for using it, but i read here about the ODOban, i will definetelly try it too... I am always up to trying something new and to try something that might work better than what i am already using !!!!

| Thanks for all your help. So far Dudley hasn't peed up here since Miley has been gone, so I think he just did it where she went to maybe do a "marking" type of thing? He does NOT go up here on the carpet at all, hasn't for a long time, so it had to be Miley making him do it. I did clean the floors really good yesterday using vinegar water so that should do the trick and I bought some Mr. Clean Febreeze like someone mentioned so I will clean the floors with that maybe next week just for an extra clean floor hehe. |
