Hi –

Can anyone help with pet odor removal suggestions… here's the deal:

We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and more recently added a baby to the
menagerie - anyway... I am disabled so I don't often go to our
basement, but I asked my husband to clean it since the baby has
started crawling and will soon need the larger space to play in. Well
Chris looked at me sheepishly and confessed that the basement was
trashed with his eBay stuff, and to my horror, all the animals had
taken to using it as a litter box. The odd thing is it didn't really
smell up here so I had no idea. Well after whipping him into shape
(KIDDING) I sent him down to clean and 4 days later he emerged
triumphant but a powerful, ammonia-like cat-litter like smell started
to creep its way up stairs. We posted for help and were advised to get
an enzymatic cleanser and we did and he has steam cleaned 3 times
since. It is better, but by no means good enough. So now we have a
spotless but unusable basement and I am really bummed as we
desperately need the space. We have gated the area so the animals
don't go down there any more, and we have also washed the floors and
carpets with vinegar. Please someone tell me what to do to be rid of
the awful smells.

Many thanks – anxious new mom Lisa
