Agent J asked in Home & GardenCleaning & Laundry · 1 decade ago

My house smells like Cat Pee when it rains b/c the lady we bought it from is one of "those" people.?

We had the floors replaced and wanted them to replace the subfloors too, but the installer said that he'd cover it with Kilz and it would be just as good. But you know what? It's not. My wife says the dining room smells like a litter box every time it rains.

What can we do at this point to actually eliminate the smell, short of ripping up the floor and replacing it all again?

    Maybe go up underneath with some bags of charcoal, hang them from the rafters or something like that?
