I question whether Kilz or any oil primer would do, after a fire a
very expensive and nasty primer is nedded to stop smokes smell. I
would start with Bleach, after a few days Amonia, then the more
expensive enzime deoderizers. Bleach kills mold and anything alive and
is cheap, you can put it in a garden sprayer and spray and leave.- Hide quoted text -

Ransley, you can question all you want, but thats how fire odor
control is handled.

You scrape and clean the best you can but nothing gets rid of 100% of
the smoke odor. then you coat with Kilz and seal in the odor.

I helped with a friends $130,000 home fire restoration, we did much of
the work ourselves.

the trouble with smoke or urine odor is it reappears in moisture, like
rainey days.

smoke stink cant be removed from overstuffed furniture like padded
sofas.

insurance just pays to replace.

intelligent homeownwers have replacement insurance to pay 100% the
cost of new
