I've got a doorway with hard oak flooring running up to it and a pine door
frame. My tenant's cat ****ed (technical term) all over the doorway and
floor. We removed the rug near the door and exposed the Oak. We did our
best to clean it and then we installed a plywood floor and ceramic tile
(blasphemy here, I know...)

However, no matter what I've tried, I can't get the urine smell out of the
pine and the little bit of oak that is still showing... Even with the
windows open, the smell is pretty strong.

Any ideas?

I'm about to bring in a professional cleaning company to work on it...

Have you tried using an enzyme-based cleaner? When we were
housetraining our puppy a year or so ago we used a product called
Nature's Miracle. It supposedly kills everything associated with the
urine. It's a clear liquid, so you might be able to wet a paper towel
with it and let it just sit on the affected areas and soak in.

I've never used it in this manner (our oak floors were sealed with
poly fairly recently, so we didn't have to worry about anything
soaking into the wood), but if I were looking at a $700 repair/
refurbish bill, I'd take a shot at the $15 solution first. :-)
