How can I get cat pee off laminate flooring? I've tried bleach and a mop and would prefer not to have to hands n knees it! (sick emotion)

You should never use bleach on cat wee due to the ammonia smell.

I used to just use regular disinfectant spray to wipe initially and then mop/clean as usual.

If it still smells after that, spray with Wash & Get off spray

Don't use bleach as the cat may well pee there again!! The smell of bleach makes the cat want to cover it up with its own smell so use a solution of biological washing powder instead.

I'm assuming it's just one puddle? If it is, I'd just get on with it on hands and knees, tbh. smile

Well the thing is - I'm so embarrased. I didn't notice it so it's gone and stuck to the floor which is why I'm having trouble making myself scrub it. But I will if I have to - just looking for the easy way out

Sorry dont know anything about cat pee but does it not just wipe straight up? Is it sticky or something?

Bi carb usually gets rid of the smell of urine. Put some in warm water and wash it. Dry the floor really well, then sprinkle some dry bi carb over the area and leave over night...vacuum up in the morning. Smell should have gone!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
