Default Cat urine odor ?

Hi,

Can any one help me with a problem that I am having at my aunts home. My
aunt had many, many cats before she passed away and it took over 3 months to
find new homes for them. The question that I have involves cat urine odor in
the house. The house requires a lot of work but I cant seem to get any one
to work in there because of the odor. Does anyone know of any solutions to
remove the urine odor. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much,


Open up house (all windows..), pull up and discard all carpet and strips, etc.
You may need to pull up other flooring, too. Possibly even some
wallboards/sheetrock if you see water-discoloration marks.

Anything you may need to discard due to cat odor is repairs you'd need to do
anyway. So you might as well start by getting that stuff out.

This is the best advice, based upon experience. Once you do all of that,
then use some type of enzyme based cleaner. Then use a sealer like
kills, bin shellac or even polyurathane on the exposed portions of the
structure then have your workers re-sheetrock, re-floor, etc.

For a one spot small mess the other suggestions are fine.

I even heard of one severe case where the house was donated to the local
fire company for practice - They burned the house down.

If the neighborhood can support a new house it may even be worthwhile
re-building for a better ROI.
