How to Remove Urine Smell from Bathroom Floors

Urine odors can linger due to bacteria and ammonia buildup. Here’s how to eliminate the smell effectively, whether from accidents, pets, or splashes.

1. Immediate Cleanup (For Fresh Urine)

Blot excess liquid with paper towels or a cloth.

Rinse with cold water (hot water sets stains and odors).
Sprinkle baking soda to neutralize odors, then wipe after 10 minutes.

2. Deep Cleaning Solutions

For Tile, Grout & Hard Surfaces:

✅ Vinegar & Water Solution (Best for bacteria)

Mix 1:1 white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
Spray, let sit 5-10 mins, then scrub with a brush.

Rinse with water.

✅ Hydrogen Peroxide (For Stubborn Smells)

Mix ½ cup hydrogen peroxide (3%) + 1 tsp dish soap.
Apply, scrub, and rinse after 10 minutes.

✅ Enzyme Cleaner (For Pet Urine)

Use a pet-specific enzyme cleaner (like Nature’s Miracle) to break down odor-causing bacteria.

For Carpet or Rugs:

Blot, then apply baking soda + vinegar paste.

Let dry, then vacuum.

3. Prevent Future Odors

Use a bathroom cleaner with ammonia-neutralizing agents (like Lysol).
Keep the floor dry—urine smell worsens in humidity.

For pets, train them properly or use pee pads.

💡 Pro Tip:

If the smell persists, the urine may have seeped into subflooring. In severe cases, professional cleaning or resealing may be needed.
