Sprinkle baking soda over the dog urine spot. Let it sit for an hour, and then sweep it up. It will absorb any remaining dog urine that is laying on the tile floor. It also will begin the deodorizing process.

Rubbing alcohol also can be mixed with water and used to clean the urine off of the glazed tile floor.
