I just use open boxes of baking soda.
Make an odor neutralizing and fabric spray. This spray does not have any scent but it will neutralize odors. ***** Place 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a spray bottle (preferably with a fine mist). After the foaming action stops, add 2 cups water, then shake well. Spritz the air. Also spritz any water safe fabric/carpet.
There are two ways, that I am away of. (1) Bin has an oil based product that can be applied over everything, to seal in the odor. (2) If that does not apply, then you can rent a machine, from a rental company, that contractor's use to rid the dwelling of cat and dog odours, it literally sucks the smell away.
If you need something stronger, Nok-Out truly works and doesn't leave an artificial smell behind. I was able to save a new 5" chair cushion that had been peed on by a sick cat.
Check your drywall! Could be a cat sprayed
Vinegar It's my favorite cleaner deodorize
take whole coffee beans and spread them the floor. helps with dog and cat odors. You will need to let them there a few days
I used Zero oder that worked really well you can buy it on line
I put 1 part water and one part vinegar in a spray bottle and spray on the affected area, works like a charm! May have to reapply a few times
Check out stink freeproducts. Some retail stores carry it. Also amazon and stinkfree.com
My old house had the same exact thing. Years later they found there was actually cat urine stained into the lower part of the drywall. They cut it out and patched and the smell went away.
Use a black light to find the urine. I'm betting is in the sheetrock.
clean EVERYTHING with a vinegar solution
I was just at Sam's Club yesterday and they had bottles of Clorox in a black and yellow bottle that said it removed urine smell. Not sure if it was for human or pet urine, just noticed it as I walked by and commented on it to my husband. Not sure if it's on the shelves at grocery or not, maybe you can look it up and find out more about it. I was also told by the University of Tennessee Veterinarian's that the only way to rid the smell of cat urine was to wash area down with Citrus cleaner or to use the spray , I think its called Cirtus Magic.
Sorry, should have looked this up before I commented. https://www.clorox.com
I don't think you will ever get the "dog" smell out completely. We bought a truck 10 years ago where the previous owner took his two dogs everywhere he went. I have tried vinegar, baking soda, essential oil spray, bought special sprays and it is still there.
Could be in air vents. Clean all with white vinegar clean or replace all fans...everything absorbs the cat urine. flush the intake of air conditioner or heater vents also
Also, have a qualified AC tech come to your house and clean the inside unit. That could be harboring a lot of what you couldn't possibly remove just by changing the AC filter.
Thank you Joni, I am going to try.
You can't remove smells from the house with an aircon, but you can use it to remove a pet smell. Say you have a room that smells just awful.
You can't remove smells from the house with an aircon, but you can use it to remove a pet smell. Say you have a room that smells just awful. You can use your air-conditioner to remove the odor, but it's not going to solve any fundamental problem. The source of the foul smell may be kitty litter, but the problem is the house itself. Anyway, a sound aircon system will help you to get out of the scent. You can contact the guys from airconservicingsingapore.com. I worked with them when installing the most performant aircon system in my office. They are the best.
