How to Remove Urine Odor From Concrete

By eHow Home & Garden Editor

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Club soda
White vinegar
Enzymatic cleaner

Step 1:
Soak the newly stained area of concrete with undiluted club soda. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then blot up the residue soda.
Step 2:
Pour straight white vinegar onto older, more stubborn urine odor patches. Continue to pour white vinegar until the smell is gone. Since urine is a base and vinegar is an acid, they destroy each other and form a water solution when you mix them together. Scrub the floor with your favorite cleanser and let dry.
Step 3:
Saturate the problem area with an enzymatic cleaner, which breaks down the proteins in urine and neutralizes the odor. Cover it with plastic to keep it moist. Let the concrete dry naturally, which may take as little as 24 hours or as long as several days. Repeat if necessary until the smell is completely gone.
Step 4:
Reseal floor with a fresh layer of concrete if you can't get rid of the urine odor. Have a professional pour a ¼- to ½-inch layer of new concrete over the original floor.
