When you have pet dog or cat, laminate flooring is the choice to
make most of the time. Cats pee and so do dogs, accidents do
happen. Urine odor from a loved pet can be a real problem.
Especially when you cannot seem to rid of the problem. First of
all hardwood flooring and carpet is good, but not for dogs and
cats. Pet urine can cause a serious issue if the tack strip that
runs along your baseboard is soaked with it. This piece of wood
that is directly underneath your carpet along the edge is made of
a pine or oak. Once it is soaked with the waste material
substance, it may not ever go away. The urine will soak to the
bottom of the strip, trapping it there. Over time your concrete
floors of sub floors absorb this and it lingers on thru out the
house. Even if you are use to it, your guests are probably not.
There are systems to properly rid of old flooring, and install a
new one. Depending on the problem, laminate floors may not be the
answer.
