The Enzymatic Protocol

Start by blotting — press a towel down hard to soak up liquid. Never rub. Rubbing drives urine deeper into the fibers and spreads the scent wider. Once it's blotted, saturate the area with enzymatic cleaner.

On hardwood or tile, urine doesn't sit on top — it slips into grout lines and runs along the wood grain. Pour the cleaner generously and let it pool in those crevices so it can chase the urine into the gaps.
