Title of Question: dog saliva spots on hardwood floor

 

Name: Shirley    City: Washington Crossing

Question: how to remove dog saliva spots on hardwood floor...I have tried many cleaners ...none work...actually it feels like glue when I scrape it off with my finger nail...an oven cleaner pad (green side) works but I can't do the WHOLE floor with a green pad...also tried Isopropyl Alcohol which works great but don't know what the long term damage to the floor might be...any suggestions??/ HELP!

Answer: A credit card or a plastic paper clip has worked for gummy Husky saliva spots on laminated wood floors for me. I used warm water with a good amount of vinegar and then got down close on the floor with a Windex-type spray cleaner, rigid plastic whatever, and paper towel.
