I keep a spray bottle of vinegar water (50/50) on hand. First I blot up the accident, then spray with the vinegar water, then blot that up. Repeat if needed. You can sprinkle with baking soda afterwards to soak up remaining moisture, then sweep. I have read some suggestions to sprinkle with baking soda prior to spraying with the vinegar water, however this could be abrasive on your floor. The vinegar smell at first is strong, but it neutralizes the urine. I love Murphy's Oil Soap for wood and it has a nice clean smell, so if you follow-up with a mopping of Murphy's Oil Soap your room should smell fresh and clean.

It depends on what type of new flooring smell you are referring to. If you have recently installed 1 piece floors, or glue placed flooring then the answer is airation.

It took about 2 weeks with the window open and the fan on circulating air to completely remove the smell.

How do you remove skunk odor from hardwood floors?
I hope you get a better answer on this, but I firmly believe you can't. The only reasonable solution is to remove the floor where the skunk has sprayed. It might help a bit if you use a UV light (Skunk spray is fluorescent in UV) to see the spray location. Good luck. YES! My mom's dog was visiting, and literally was sniffing the skunk when she got a full spray in the face. She then proceeded to come into my house dripping in skunk. It then dripped all over my floors which are all hardwood. I immediately goggled skunk hardwood floors, and it was not encouraging. However in a blog I found this product. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it worked! No more smell. http://www.biocidesystems.com/roomshocker1.html

Difference between orange hardwood floor products and other types?
The orange products use the citrus oils from the peels of oranges. The citrus oils smell nice, leave a great shine and act as a verry effective solvent for the dirt & oils that foul your floors. So they clean, leave a nice gloss & smell good. Wood floors like water, but that is very bad for your floor. Wood also likes oils, which in small quantity is not as bad for your floor. They are not magic but they are better than anything with water in it! No Murphys oil soap or Shark Steamers on wood PLEASE.
