FAQ How does an oil finish hold up to pets?

An oil finish can tolerate moderate wear from dogs and cats. Scratch and spills can be repaired and cleaned as long as it is done in a timely manner.

For pet accidents, the success in removing them varies depending on many factors. Try cleaning the affected area with Natural Soap first. Repeated cleaning with the Natural Soap may help to fade the stain with time.

WOCA StainRemover could be successful, depending on the severity of the stain. Be sure to follow it with touch up oil to restore the oil finish.

If there is a mild black stain from pet urine, some customers have had success with treating it with Tannin Spot Neutralizer.

There are no guarantees with completely removing pet stains. The last resort would be to replace the soiled floor boards.
