Malodorants are easier to use than varnish and work on permanently removing
urine odor from concrete. You can do a large home for less than $30.00 in
materials. I do it all the time. Including the house I live in now. 1 1/2
years later and all stink is gone.

I know Kilz is a good primer available in oil based and latex based.
My
question is: is the oil based primer allowed/available in California.
We are cleaning up my deceased brother's house and there are a lot of
stinky stains on the floor. The floor is on a concrete slab. I have
used
this on ceiling stains and it works great, but I don't know about pet
stains on the floor.
Thanks in advance-

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

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- Hide quoted text -

and again outdoor polyruethane for all floors, even concrete ones.
a fellow I met owned a apartment building with concrete floors. a
tenant had it overrun with pets urine odor.
the apartment manager after getting rid of the tenant
removed all
the carpet, scrubbed all the concrete floors, painted etc. and had new
carpeting installed.
looked good however after new tenant moved in odor returned every time
it rained. urine stink migrated out of concrete slab brand new carpet
stank bad
fire restoration company was called. they suggested remove and send
new carpet to garbage, clean concrete floors, dry and seal with 3
coats of outdoor poyurethane normally used to finish wood floors,
install brand new carpeting.
it worked no more odors
