Pet-accidents and wooden floor. Help?

[metal_equine]

I'm on house/pet watch for friends this weekend and I managed to close one of the cats into the livingroom over night. She had an accident on the floor and by the time I even found out she was there, the pee had soaked into the wood. Is there any way, short of very drastic measures ( i.e. sanding the whole floor down) to remove or lessen the stain?

Wood oil soap? Perhaps I could find an equivalent to that here... The spot is a bit darker, though.

Thank you for your advice. :)

Sorry about the US products recommendations. Murphy's Oil Soap is a vegetable oil-based soap with citronella oil. You could probably make your own if nothing similar is available by mixing equal parts vegetable oil and liquid soap together with a few drops of citronella oil. If you mixed, say a large dinner spoon full of vegetable oil and a spoon full of liquid soap together, you'd probably want about 5 drops of citronella, depending on how concentrated your citronella is. Then you'd dilute that in about a half pint or quarter of a liter of warm water. The oil keeps the soap and water from destroying the wood. :)
