a buddies mom bought a home ands called for advice, I told her outdor
poly.,


she got mad and did the vinegar thing.


that was years ago


recently she admitted i was right her house still smells like pee
every time it rains.....


she has asthma and will have to go on vacaton and have much of her
beloings moved to storage for the week while floors are refinished and
walls pained first with kilz, then regulkar paint.


much easier to do while home was vacant


some of your odor might be in walls, or furnace vents including air
returns


Poly was new in 07, I can only think its inbetween the wood plank,
would new poly then help? Neutraliseing it sounds logical as in
pouring out a liqued, but then I have heard of cats and skunk ruining
a house. One on this animal cop show I saw a house that had something
like 110 cats inside for years. They wore whaite suits and respirators
to go inside, flees were crawling on the windows. One house N of
Chicago the insurance co is near 300,000 in skunk cleaning costs. No
more pets for tenants.- Hide quoted text -

most poly is indoor poly it absorbs water, and pee.

outdoor poly is marine grade, for wet environments.

a coat of new outdoor poly over the properly prepared floor will fix
the problem. its what the fire restoration people do to elminate smoke
odors

did the urine discolor the floors or turn them black in the cracks?- Hide quoted text -

No floor looks new as it is recently sanded. Threw out a couch and bed
he left, the smell is nothing to me now.
