Wooden floor and cat poo - only read if not just eaten or about to eat

[Barmaid]

Last week my OH laid a new oiled engineered oak floor. Last night my OH locked one of the cats in the room. Consequence was that kitty was desperate to "go" and left a lovely stinking pile in the corner.

Mummy Slave has cleaned it up (between bouts of wretching). Unfortunately, I have been unable to remove the cat poo shaped stain on the new floor. I dare not use any household cleaners on it. Any ideas how I can make the stain go away, please?

sounds like a strip, sand and restain job.... might be easier to replace the bit of flooring

OMG, i can't stand that!!! He'll never get it up anyway, the way he has glued it together.

I may have to find a nice elaborate plant to place over the offending stain if I can't remove it.

I swear blind by Fairy Liquid. It's taken the dog poop shape off my laminate kitchen floor but then that was just laminate and not an expensive floor.

In which case you have nothing to lose by being a bit more radical with the cleaners... try a brillo pad /bleach you will strip the surface off but then you can oil it with teakwax which should resore the colour

I must admit tho, the dog poop wasn't rock solid.

(This could get graphic!!)

Thanks Rowan. I am sending him off to the DIY store for oil for it. The wretched floor has been down less than a week. I've now discovered that not only was there poo, but there is also wee which has gone underneath. Just hoping the foil backed underlay does its job.

If he ever shuts another cat in ever again, I will be shoving him out through the cat flap.

Thought your title was a bit weird - "Cat Poo - only read if not just eaten or about to eat"
I mean - who would that apply to?

[Barmaid]

OK, so grammatically I failed, but I was feeling very very stressed about my new floor having a cat poo shaped stain on it.

Mmmm cat poo ;-)

Mummy slave should have let daddy slave do it...

[Barmaid]

lol I do see the funny side of my phraseology. What a twit.

Rowan, I know. But then Mummy Slave would also have to clear up Daddy vomit (he has no stomach for these things at all). I have known him leave a cat ablution for me to clear up when I get home from work rather than tackle it himself. And if you ask him to clean the hen house?! I might as well just ask him to cut off a limb.

Glued it together ? Hope there is never a need to get to the pipes and cables underneath then.

Aye, inside pets probably need dirt trays.

You have my sympathy,I remember our new leather settee, still bears the scars years later.Don't cover the stain with a plant or anything else for a while, give it plenty of time to dry out.

[Barmaid]

The cats have got a cat flap OG and a litter tray in the bathroom. Last night he accidentally shut one of them in a room which doesn't have access to the cat flap or the litter tray. Not kitty's fault.

There aren't any wires under the floor (I know this because they are channelled into the walls - almost). No idea about pipes though. There certainly wasn't any evidence of anything channelled into the concrete floor though.

Giveup, its annoying isn't it? You get something new and shiny and it goes **** up.

Does the stain look like this ? it could be worth more than the house !


You have to watch until half way through but I swear it looks like a cat poo stain.

[Barmaid]

lol Eddie that's gross.

I think the best I can see in the stain is one of the Jellymen from our avatars. Perhaps Ab Editor woudl like to buy the floor.........

"God is trying to talk to us, through a poo stain" yeah right.

Is the crap stain in the shape of Madonna .. or Jesus's head or anything interesting?
