A tenant had a cat and the apt stinks, the wood floor was redone

only there 6 months but the smell has to go.

If all else fails, you can buy or rent an Ozone generator, and not a
namby-pamby one either.

At the risk of sounding too graphic, these are the devices used to sanitize
a house where several bodies have been left to decompose for extended
periods.

Makes the house smell as sweet as a day after a spring shower.
Cat **** is alkaline - amonia right? Maybe Vinegar an acid is a
neutraliser? Like skunk is cleaned with tomatoe juice an acid. He was
only there 6 mo and floors look good as they were refinished in 07, im
thinking of pouring-mop on a few gallons of vinegar to soak in the
seams. Does ozone actualy get rid of smell permanently.

The PH isn't the problem. ?The problem is that a male cat in the process
of spraying is little different than having a skunk in the house.

All that can be done with the flooring is seal it, replace it, or torch it.

very well said the odor cant be removed just sealed in the wood or
walls permanetely
this said having a pet friendly rental can get you faster rentals with
better credit.
just put protections in lease to minimize pet damage and perhaps
charge extra to have a pet.....

If I rented out a place, I would not allow cats unless the owner
provided documentation that there were no unneutered male cats.

And I'm the opposite of an anti-cat bigot. *I'm a cat person having
lived with the critters for 25 years. *I also know that nothing will
remove the odor left behind from a spraying male cat short of floor
replacement or sealing (replace carpeting, paint over affected plywood, etc)- Hide quoted text -

I think they ran out of cat litter on purpose, I cant smell it now but
a friend can, I threw the guy out for theft of my equipment so he was
****ed, for all I know he ****ed on floor.
