Urine can permanently stain flooring. There are many products that minimize staining, but there are also complexities you should be aware of. Urine is waste from our body and carries with it salts, medications, and the foods we eat.
Like any stain, the first steps you take in responding will largely determine the likelihood of whether the stain becomes permanent or can be removed. The wrong approach can permanently set the staining properties.
We recommend your first steps are to blot (not scrub) the moisture with paper towels or a white cloth. If the spill is a sold, scrape the substance with a spatula or spoon. Continue to discard damp towels for dry ones. Step on the towel to absorb any solution that might have penetrated deep into the flooring. Do not pour cleaning products or absorbent powders until you refer to our Spot and Stain Removal Solutions and plan your next steps.
Diablo Carpet & Floor Restoration does not use “chemicals solutions” that saturate pet stains, driving them deeper into the flooring and subfloor. Well-intentioned homeowners often select products that only mask odors and expand the urine damage. The key to the successful removal of stains is extraction, followed by sanitizing the damaged area.
If too many products and too much advice have led to confusion, let us help with the embarrassment of urine, stains, and odors.

Continue to discard damp towels for dry ones. Step on the towel to absorb any solution that might have penetrated deep into the area rug fibers.
Because not all stains are the same, knowing what is in the staining solution, as well as the type of area rug fiber, helps with selecting the best method for removing or reducing the stain. Refer to our Spot and Stain Removal Solutions.
Some stains are permanent and the only method of removal is to strip the color and redye the area, or a patch/plug. DCFR has years of experience with stain removal and can guide you in the most effective treatment.
Many stains are removable while they’re fresh or haven’t been “worked on.” The key is to know the source of the stain (wine, beverage, coffee, ink, hair dye, Christmas tree/plant water damage, etc.), and the area rug material.
Spots and Stains that reappear? Remember that “ring around the collar” commercial where they failed to “rinse” all the chemicals, so the clothes quickly re-soiled? The same is true of area rugs. Spotters are wonderful if you take the time to rinse/extract and neutralize them. A little vinegar and water can help you neutralize spotting solutions. More helpful is an extractor, such as a wet-dry shop vacuum.

Urine is a health hazard that can permanently stain and create noxious odors. Upholstery is not made to have chemical solutions saturate pet urine, and it only drives stains deeper into the cushion or backing. If the urine is fresh and still wet:

Even with the most diligent maintenance program, such as protecting hardwood floors with walk-off mats, area rugs, and runners, the top surface will eventually wear and impact its appearance. This is most common in the kitchen area, in front of the oven, stovetop, sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator. It’s also common at the main and patio door entries.
Diablo Carpet and Floor Restoration has the special equipment, experience, and supplies to correct wear issues and spot damage before it requires a complete sand and refinish process. We can help retain the beauty of your hardwood floors.
Moisture can damage the coloring and appearance of wood floors. Plants, tree water, a minor flood from the dishwasher, a toilet miss, and even pet urine can damage the appearance of your floors. It doesn’t matter if the flooring is laminate, engineered, or solid hardwood, moisture-related damage is common with hard floors.
In many cases, this damage can be repaired without major replacement or a complete sand and refinish process. Diablo Carpet & Floor Restoration has the experience, technical knowledge, and supplies to correct moisture stains before they require a more expensive process.
Restore the beauty of your hardwood floors. Maintaining wood floors was not meant to be a backbreaking or confusing chore that takes time away from the activities you enjoy.
Today’s popular wood surfaces have an open grain appearance. It looks beautiful but has its own unique maintenance challenges. The challenge is removing dirt, dust, and other spills from the open grain. An application of cleaning solution can turn the soil to mud, infusing it into the grain. DCFR has the experience you need to get successful results.
There is no substitute for protecting your hardwood floors, especially when you or a contractor undertake a home improvement project. Dirt, dust, accidental spills, or paint overspray can easily imbed in the wood grain and seams. The challenge is removing this debris from the open grain. Applications of a wet solution can infuse it more deeply into the grain or seams.
Clean up is equally risky. You protect the floor but when you’re cleaning up you forget to vacuum or remove dust before picking up the drop cloths. Worse, you try to clean the dust with a wet product.
Each situation can cause permanent damage. Fortunately, Diablo Carpet and Floor Restoration has the experience, knowledge, equipment, and supplies to correct many of these accidents.
Maintaining wood floors wasn’t meant to be a backbreaking or confusing chore that takes time away from activities you enjoy.
Over time, something is likely to dent or scratch your hardwood floors. It might be moving a chair or a barstool that lost its felt pad protector, accidentally dropping an object, or worse, pets or children scratching the top finish with a sharp object. In most cases, scratches are repairable with a color match and minor resurfacing. The results are amazing. The best time to have minor repairs is when you schedule a deep cleaning.
Diablo Carpet and Floor Restoration has the special equipment, experience, technical knowledge, and supplies to correct these minor appearance issues. Let Us Help You retain the beauty of your hardwood floors.
Attention to Detail! Here are three other conditions to help extend the life of your carpet:
Remodeling a kitchen, bathroom, hallway or foyer with new flooring can present the need to adjust or repair the transition from carpet to stone, tile, gardwood, or luxury vinyl flooring.
Pets can find seams and claw them. It’s not unusual that this damage is found at the doorway from the hall to a bedroom.
Wear. As carpet ages, the high-traffic transitions from, say a family room carpet to stone or tile can deteriorate, delaminate, or pull back and leave a gap in the transition.
Let Us Help You restore the beauty of your carpet and have the perfect home of your dreams.
Eventually, carpet fibers will be damaged, and usually the damage stands out. It catches our attention. Stains, bleach, sun-fade, burns, pet claws, snags and age can impact your carpet’s appearance. Even a home remodeling can require small carpet repairs. Diablo Carpet & Floor Restoration has the skills and experience to cost-effectively restore carpet fiber damage.
Why wait? Restore the beauty of your carpet by removing those imperfections.
There are several reasons carpet ripples appear. The cause can range from the carpet’s age to poor installation. A physical inspection is required to develop the best plan for solving the issue.
Let’s remove the ripples before someone accidentally takes a dive and injures themself.
Stains: The surface of stone can be etched or stained. It’s a porous material that absorbs dyes or chemicals. Yes, some stones are denser, like granites, while others, such as marble, are more absorbent. Even dense stone can be etched by acid-based solutions, like vinegar or wine, or highly alkaline solutions, such as strong cleaning chemicals, and urine. No, the sealant will not permanently protect these surfaces. Like all “protectants” they offer limited protection that gradually wears off. Although the same can be said of grout. Many grouts are cementitious. This is not the case with porcelain or ceramic tiles.
Scratches: The top surface of natural stones can become scratched or pitted. But if periodically cleaned and polished, the pitting can be repaired, and scratches removed.
Grout repairs: Grout provides protection to the edge of stone and tiles, but it has little to no structural value. Grout can be damaged, come loose, or even crack with normal use. Floors flex and shift, causing grout to dislodge. Today, grout can be replaced and color matched without having to mix large quantities of the product. Colored grout is premixed in caulking tubes. The best time to have this work done is when you schedule the stone or tile to be cleaned and sealed.
