I have those same stains and smells on my wood floor. How long did you leave the kitty liter on the floor?

Music too 📢📢📢 🔊 LLOUD!

Did you use a specific peroxide

Thank goodness I found this video. My floors looked just like that if not worse. The pet stains are over powering even after trying several cleaners. I'll try the Peroxide and see how that works.

How did you get the smell out. I’m not as concerned about some discoloration on mine…they’re old. But if I go through all that work and they still smell like pet… I can’t stand that. I would rip them out at that point and put in LVP, but I’m really hoping to salvage mine. But right now the whole house smells like pet urine.

I'm gonna try this!!!!

Shame they had to/choose to switch to forced air. Did they intent in any other vids? Or maybe they went with heat pumps instead?? 🤔

Just the video I needed. The exact combo of pet stains and radiant baseboards. Just shopping; didn't buy it.

That looks just like my hard wood floors that I discovered under carpet. I’m hoping mine are gonna turn out nice when I restore mine.

What color stain is that???😊

What was the solution ratio you created with the peroxide?

Hard working man👏🏼👏🏼 nice job 👍

Can help me? I'm looking for the spacers, can not seem to find them.

Thank you for sharing. 😊

The kitchen turned out nice. Probably time and money well spent on that drain/vent mess. The previous owner must’ve poured grease down the sink on a regular basis? Thanks for sharing your experience. Slainte, DC🍀

Looks great!

I need to do my 1955 floors. They have cupping as well. This looks amazing and ya know even if mine don't end up perfect, I am fine with flaws...gives some character. The fact that I have floors from 1955 that can look beautiful again in 2023 well 🎉🥳 I think that is pretty amazing actually.

Beautiful job.

try Oxalic Acid for stains in wood. It's what furniture restorers use.

I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to video all this but at the same time I get that it was definitely a lot if work nevermind the recording of it..but I was disappointed when it came up that you lost the rest of the footage no disrespect at all I was curious on what you did use on the finishing parts ... thanks again for taking the time.. one quick tip I found out by accident was that during the holiday I left a bag by the garbage bag by the door not sure what leaked out but when I got back someone already took the garbage out and it left a really bad stain to the point where it took of some of the stain off .but I usually like to keep a water bottle with dawn and water making my own well I other products would not remove the stain but the watered down dawn after staying it on and using a little scrubbing pad just a little and washing it off with a wet clean cloth much to my surprise the stain came out dawn work on a lot of things so I am happy about that but the floor is in need of a light sanding and a redo that is why I was watching. But I can never find a video on a light colored floor ugg.. hope the tip helps just don't leave the dawn on too long rinse and wipe it soaked it up right away should work out good ..I've used it on put door teak and works like a charm ❤

Just the video I needed to see. I inherited a house with hardwood floors stained with dog urine😑. Awful smell. I’m going to do this to make it better.

They did turn out nice. You worked very hard at it. I appreciate a man that put so much time and effort into this sort of thing. Just about anything at all can be saved.

Awesome job

Did you happen to try oxalic oxide it's a bleach what I'm probably saying it wrong

You can actually really make those hardwood floors look absolutely beautiful

Thank you for taping up the fireplace. Had a DIY couple near here sanded their floors and didn't tape it up and all that dust got all up in the chimney and a few months later when they lit it the chimney caught fire. They were able to get it out quick enough to save the house but that nice fine wood dust burned real easy and quick.

Do I have questions :P We bought a house prior to the auction, We are dead set on saving the hardwood floors throughout the home. Like this video, they had carpet and pets over the years, So step one would be sanding them all down first then cleaning them with the peroxide. We also will be renting the machines. So rent them on a Friday giving us the weekend with the floor sanders, I have zero experience running :) It might take longer but from what I have learned so far the Orbital is easier to handle. Step one? step two? and on would be? Oh, and we are 60 and 74 years old :) After three years of health issues, we just can not afford to hire anyone. I hope to see some positive replies. Thank you!

Great job

Peroxide wow.

You sure had a job. What is in the white label brown small bottle that u are rubbing with no gloves on

what kind of poly did you use? semi gloss? satin?

Oxalic acid wood bleach,,,

Next time you rent those tiny sanders try adding some weights on top, second when you edge the machine is made to go left to right. I use hydrogen peroxide on all pet stains as well

What tools did you use?

What stain did you use?!

Oxalic acid to lighten bad spots then black stain is the way to go with floors like this

Beautiful! My question is -- what about the urine smell?? Was that present when you started -- and did this make it go away completely? About to move into a 160 year old house with lovely floors except for the past 20 years when I cat lady lived there. Very bad odor - and staining, of course.

For someone who may be looking at this in the future, Zinsser sells a two part wood bleach. It comes in packages that are too small and may be expensive for doing a full floor, but I’ve used it when refinishing furniture and it’s useful. It’s probably easily accessible chemicals, think for sure it’s peroxide and an activator, but if you have a project like this might be worth investigating. I haven’t gotten that far yet but thought I’d leave this for someone who might be investigating doing this. I have wood floors too but the finish is good except for a couple marks and I probably won’t get there for a year or so.

Beautiful!!! Great job!! That super hard work definitely paid off!! Love the color also!!

The bubbling from when you put the peroxide on is actually human infection. Bacteria. That's why it bubbles up like when you pour it on a wound

Did you have fun hand sanding down the old cat and dog piss? Just because it looks better doesn't mean it's not there. Def. Should've cleaned and disinfected the floors right after sanding.

They sell wood bleach you know. It really works great after floor sanded. So you won't be need to sand floor thin. Just need to sand the finish off. I like to be different i like stain floors with black stain then sand off and then use royal blue wood stain on my floors looks great with the black wood grain of oak. Really great look on floor. The blue is really beautiful on wood grain.

Wow!! The floor turned out beautifully perfect! I have the same pine wood floor and this inspired me to do my floor!! Thank you for sharing your Journey.

I love the snake. No worry about mice in your house!

Thanks for posting! Your hard work paid off! Your ideas are a godsend!

Looking forward to seeing the next video

I take my hat off to anyone who gives it a go 👍

Did the smell fully go away?

Great video. Thank you. I am in the process of redoing my kitchen hardwood floors and watching videos how to do it. I am going to rent a sander soon and begin that process first and go from there. Have no real clue what I am doing but whatever I do is likely to be a lot cheaper than the estimate we got to have it done. Thank you for your video.

What grit did you start and finish on??
