Sealed wood flooring — easier to clean than fabric, but seams and worn finish can hold urine residue.
Hardwood is one of the easier surfaces to keep fresh — the sealed surface wipes clean. The risk is in the seams between boards and under a worn finish: urine can seep in and hold there.
Clean accidents promptly, treat the seams, and dry fully. Persistent odor may mean residue under the finish, which can need refinishing.
