How to Get Rid of Cat Pee Smell FOREVER (DIY Cleaning Guide for ALL Surfaces)
I bought a house that was infested with cat urine. It was on all surfaces, carpet, hardwood, drywall, concrete, trim, tile, subfloor - all of it. This is something I've never had to remediate before, but over the course of 3 months, I learned a whole lot about how to clean, fix, and eliminate cat pee odor. This is a full how-to guide. I go through every surface you might have to deal with in this video and give detailed advice on how to remediate cat pee and the urine smell from all surfaces. These techniques would also work for dog pee or vomit as well, but my experience was with cat pee. I talk about enzyme cleaners like my favorite from Nature's miracle; oxy cleaners like my favorite from OdoBan; ultraviolet lights, vinegar, baking soda, ozone machines, odor blocking primers, shellac, and deodorizers. I'll give my favorite brands and advice on how to use them. Resurfacing floors, polyurethane, replacing trim, and cleaning LVP - I think I cover everything. If you have experience in this area, please leave a comment below. Here are the products I reference in the video. I am not sponsored by any of these products, they are legitimately just the ones I liked - but most of these links are amazon or Lowes affiliate links so I will earn a small commission if you buy them - it helps keep my channel going, thank you!
