For oak floors (assuming solid hard wood and not laminate), I would let the Natures miracle soak into all the cracks so it seeps in where the pee is to neutralize those areas.

I have looked at most of the ones that have come on the market, and sold one off of Live Oak and Skillman a little over a year ago.There are a lot of people chasing very high valuations on duplex's. 

I already live in the Dallas - Oak Lawn/Uptown area.

(Specifically, Encantada and Regal Oaks that are managed by CLC.)

My agent friend works in Oak Park, and told me that in the higher end of the market place (600k to over a million) the home sales are stagnant and it is a buyers market. 

Honestly I don't think you can deduct for "lawn care" that's definitely a losing battle if she decided to call your bluff on it.

I live in the city of Chicago but go to stores near where my parents live in the suburb of Oak Park and other wealthy western suburbs.

This particular house, however, is a bank from the late 1800's, so we sanded down and refinished the original oak (I think - def a hardwood) floors.

I am up near oak tree and roughly 70% of homes here have shelters.
