Instructions
For fresh stains, dilute the stained area with water, and wipe with a rag or paper towels.
Apply a 50/50 vinegar and water solution to the wood, wiping the affected area as well as a few inches around the stain.
For old stains that have turned the wood black, try dipping a piece of paper towel into hydrogen peroxide, and dabbing the towel onto the black-stained wood. Leave overnight. In the morning, check to see if the wood has regained a color that matches the rest of your floor.
Continue to apply peroxide a little at a time, slowly, over a series of nights to keep the peroxide usage at a minimum. Your stain should slowly lighten as you continue this process. Quit when the stain is once again the same color as the surrounding wood.
There are a variety of products to tackle the smell in old stains and in fresh puddles. Try these cleansers: Kids and Pets, Urine-Off, Simple Solution (enzyme cleanser).
