I have a lead on a home in an excellent area of town, prime area

However, the home has animal damage.


Apparently the widow who owned it, let her dogs **** and crap all
over the place.


I've inspected it and it literally looks like a flood has taken
place.


IOW up to 6 inches up every wall I can see stains which I am
assuming are pee pee stains.
It looks like the house had a flood 6 inches high!


I realize the rugs have to go, but how do I clean up the rest of
the mess?


Can I just remove the baseboard molding's, clean, paint and be
done with it?


Also the house has hot water baseboard heating and the miserable
little creatures have peed on everyone of the baseboard units to
the point that the covers are rusted!!!


Any ideas on how to clean this up?


After doing the obvious, get an Ozone generator and turn it loose. Now don't
get a piddly Ozone generator like you see on Ebay, get a BIG one.

They are used to rehab houses where dead things, mostly dead things, *and
very dead things have been left for extended periods. In the summer. In New
Orleans.

You can contact a funeral home or your county medical examiner to discover
where they got theirs. These folks can also point you to companies in your
local that do this sort of work (hey, somebody has to deal with the hulls
after a vampire strike).- Hide quoted text -

Ozone works, but Ozone is a poison, bad for the lungs, it Oxidises
them too. There are strick Gov exposure limits for ozone easily
googled. I would never use one or even an electrostatic air filter as
they output Ozone as a by product.
