Diarrhea on hardwood floors

Blaming the dog for a fart is one thing, but fess up and don't give your dog anxiety issues.

Was this pre-finished hardwood, do you know? If so, it's finished on all sides and can take cleaners well, but if this was finished after it was laid, the board ends and all the tongues and grooves could be contaminated and they are unfinished. Tread lightly here, you could do damage with a lot of liquids.

Anyone else think this guy is one of the worst posters at atot? Everything he says is some sort of negative snooty comment that really doesn't even make much sense. I feel that he is the embodiment of all that sucks about elitist nerds on the internet.

Anyway as for the stain I would say try murphys oil wood soap. Stuff is pretty good for odors and it won't harm your floor.

Yeah, poor kid must have a craptastic life.

His schtick is wishing harm on animals.

Bleach mixed with Ammonia is an extremely dangerous combination. The mixture will do more than take the paint off your car. The fumes will kill a person.

That is a very bad recommendation.
 
So I'm going across the webs looking for tips on cleaners for pet stains and I find this. Some posts are really useful and thank you all for those. However, you get the occasional DA - dumb a** who are forum trolls across like this a**hat Numenorean. Moron! Most likely a Peggy, dude who sits in Mom's leaky basement and plays online games with gender of female hoping to get lucky.

Anyway back to the topic at hand, I've used vinegar and water. Nature's miracle has always worked for most things on carpet.
 
A friend of my former roommate had a projectile vomit incident on my hardwood floor. The friend and the roommate tried to get all of it up, but some still remained between cracks. Eventually it was toothbrushes with a mild cleaner followed by baking soda that cleaned up the mess.

[edit] damn it, necro.

Linoliem or tile over the floor be done with it forever. I don't understand people's obsession with hard wood floors when they're inferior in almost every way to every other type of flooring.

I have tile floors and it's always so damn cold, and doesn't feel good on my feet. also a complete pain in the ass to properly clean ( scrubbing the grout!!!!) I wish they were hardwood, or at the least some decent quality laminate

edit, just realized this was a 4 year old post

I once got some drain stuff that ate a hole in my steel drain. I guess waiting 15 minutes to flush it out was too long so had to reroute it with new pipe.

Put the dog outside where it belongs. That would fix that problem.

:thumbsdown: My neighbors do this and it was fine when they only had their two labs but now the daughter's BF has been bringing this pit bull over and it fucking barks constantly when they leave it outside. I seriously want to kill the fucking thing. I think I'm going to order a dog whistle and go out and blow it as loud as possible every time I hear that fucking mangy mutt barking.
 
If you do not think the finnish on it is ruined then use real lemon juice on it.
Then airing out the house would not hurt then febreeze on it.

Get a life, then get a loan you can acquire some dignity and wisdom, perhaps on the installment plan, you fucking small minded asshole.

except, he would be right. I'm sure his neighbors would absolutely LOVE hearing the dogs outside 24/7.

dude, you really have to get some therapy.

damn, didn't realize this thread was so old.

disregard.

You could try some of that orange oil cleaner, and a razor blade between the cracks ( though you would have to be extremely careful).

Might be a good idea, or some good wood oil if it's real hardwood. Some form of Harwood oil.

Tore all the carpet out of this house years ago when we bought it.

Took awhile, but everything in the house these days it either Laminate or Tile.

Only carpet are some throw rugs here and there.

Is one pretty large Necro.

This explains a lot...

(don't try this at home kids, bleach+ammonia is a great way to release a nice cocktail of chloramine and chlorine gas, and earn yourself a fancy new toe tag.)
