When my chins pee on the wood, it sometimes turns white...any reason?

[Kara315]

My guys weren't trained, and right now I have bedding so I see they pee on the bedding, but sometimes in only about two areas I see they've gone on the ledges as well. I clean it everytime I see it, If it's during the night and I don't notice it, it seems like it's white when I wake up. I'm not sure what it is, or why it's turning white, There urine isn't white, and they are healthy so it's just weird to see two white spots where it looks like they peed.

It's the minerals in their urine that sit on the surface of the wood. You can try to clean it off with vinegar...if it isn't too much, that should take it right off of the wood.

Ok good, I was hoping it was something easily explainable and not something no one has heard of. I will definatly clean it off with some vinegar from now on. Thanks!

For tough stains I use hydrogen peroxide (3%) let it sit a few seconds and wipe

Sanding helps also
