Last tenant left the apartment filthy! How on earth do you get rid of “cat pee” smell (and the worst part is they didn’t have a cat! Ewwwww!!!)

There is 1 room with carpeting (that’s going out) and the rest are tiles/hardwood floors.

Thanks.

OH the joys of being a landlord. We have purchased a few buildings where we inhereted this wonderful intense aroma. YUCKK!!!

After tearing out the carpeting and removing any remaining fibers. We spray the floors with “industrial” strength clorox mixed 1/2 with water. We let this dry, then we spray a coat of BIN (Lowes has it) on the floor and the baseboard. Then we roll another heavy coat on the floor. We then put in an Alpine air purifier, with the ozone plates, for a few days and we have yet to run into one we couldnt “detoxify”.

OH when getting the BIN shellac, make sure you get the rerwal stuff not the water based one. The water base makes a good primer but not a good odor blocker.

Other perople may reccomend Oder-X and similar products. I have not tried them.

May all your landlording days be interesting.
