To my horror, I have found the back leg of one of my dressers drenched with cat pee or spray. What is the best way to take this kind of stain? The back of the dresser isn't not finishes the same way as the rest of it so it has really soaked in.

Depending on the amount of damage and the color of the rest of the dresser, you can use either orange or clear shellac to seal the stain and odor in. Since the wood was previously unfinished you may not be able to get the stain out, it will have soaked deep into the wood pores. You might try Bix Stripper (available at most hardware stores and home centers) or any other stripper that says it will remove wood stain (meaning the type of stain someone intentionally used to change the color of the wood). You will have to be careful not to get the stripper on the finished part of the dresser. A mixture of toothpaste and baking soda may help, but even finished wood can easily turn black from contact with urine.
Thanks Patticat, I will try what you recommend.
Try using a Zeolite powder to absorb the ammonia from the pet stains.
It has been suggested you use a bleach water solution to lighten the stain. I don't know if you've already tried this, but if you haven't, only apply bleach in a well ventilated area as it will cause a chemical reaction with the amonia base in the cat urine.
Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to remove dog odor from a sofa, I tried the freshner but nothing happened.
I have a cat that keeps peeing on our leather couch. I have tried putting moth balls on it and also cleaning it with Nature's Miracle and that doesn't seem to help either. My boyfriend is about to make me get rid of her if I can't find a solution. Please if you have any ideas let me know thanks.

I know this is a really late reply but I'd get rid of the boyfriend first before the cat and also immediately take your cat to the vet to see if there is any medical conditions there. Peeing outside the box is not normal behavior & something is wrong with your cat. Also Mothballs are toxic and you should never use them around pets or kids - very dangerous!!!!
I am dog sitting my aunt's dog and he is a four month old austrailian shepherd. we have a hockey table that is supposed to be set on the ground to play. It's made of wood. just today the dog peed and pooped on it.
I'm working on removing urine stains, but to keep animals from repeating this try Feliway spray, it works
We got our cat from the Humane Society and didn't know any of her past. When we brought her home, she started to pee everywere! What should we do to repel her?
I had a lovable male cat for 19 years - an old friend.He had cystitis (sp) and would often urinate outside the box. He would also go on throw rugs, clothes, or next to anything else on the floor in his attempts to tell me he was in pain, or mad, or both. My first suggestion is for ANYONE having trouble with your cat urinating outside the box.... check for blood in the urine, and even if you don't see any... get your kitty checked out by a vet! If you've ruled out health reasons... try changing the litter consistency, SIZE of the box, location of the box, etc. I eventually had to buy one of those under-the-bed storage containers for my little friend! Anyway, TO REMOVE URINE STAINS...
I use Out! Multi-Cat. You can purchase it in the cat toy/food isle at Wal-Mart. Go to my blog page: honestnicewoman.blogspot.com/
