First you need to clean the stains to remove the scent crystals or every animal that is in the area will want to pee there.I have found Nature’s Miricle to be amazing!Next, prep your paneling by washing with a deglosser like NoSand or TSP.Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinnseror KilzThen Paint😊Helpful Reply -

Best to clean the urine off first. A sealing primer like Zinsser would be good to use before you paint.Helpful Reply -

I would clean the paneling with Murphy's oil soap, follow the directions on the bottle. You can change the color, as long as it covers the stains. Whatever you decide, use high gloss, you can wash it and it's hard to penetrate it.Helpful Reply -

Clean the urine first to ensure odor removal and paint adhesion. If its pet urine, use a pet enzyme cleaner first .Helpful Reply -

As someone who is renovating a house that had pets (my parents home) I would remove the panelling and put up drywall. That odor is hard to get rid of. We had subfloor that we had professionally treated and sealed for cat and dog urine and the odor came back. We had to replace all the sub floor in the entire home. (We rescue cats by the way). I recommend painting the walls with a paint that has odor absorbtion capabilities to be on the safe side. And I would do that after I use Kilz on walls and ceilings. Good luck!Helpful Reply -
