I cannot get the piss smell out of my Mom’s house 😭

I have painted, scrubbed, steamed, the air ducts have been cleaned and encapsulated but it still smells like piss 😭

She died two years ago and her husband and his gf, who he moved into mom’s house while she was in hospice, lived here and I don’t understand how they smelled it up sooo bad.

Is it a slab foundation? If urien sat on the slab (seeped down through carpets and padding), then it's likely in the concrete - about the only way to deal with it is to use a commercial grade enzyme cleaner on the slab, let dry, seal it and replace the carpet.

@Ontheroad it’s a crawl space

@RebelFox Then wood or mdf/osb flooring? Same, or actually worse than a concrete slab. I ran assisted care and retirement communities for years and this was a common problem in those we had carpet in. The fix is the same, just takes more (two applications) of the enzyme solution and a longer wait period with wood flooring.
