😟 why not get it professionally cleaned
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll look into it.
Cat pee is one of the hardest things to get out of a house. It’s so hard, best case scenario you replace the carpets and it’s gone, but more likely you will have to remove the flooring, seal the slab (and smell) and then replace flooring. And it can be cleaned but good luck, that smell isn’t going anywhere

If you don’t get it cleaned? Probably $30k to $50k.
Cheaper to get any flooring replaced and have it professionally cleaned to get rid of the smell.
I agree I was just being silly 😜
I will start with getting a professional cleaner that’s specialized in that kind of situation. There’s plenty of products that will help with that depending on the deterioration of the areas. Speak to representatives at Home Depot or Lowe’s. The research is the tough part. Best wishes on the sale🙌🏼

I worked with an investor to offload one of his houses with this issue. Dog pee over years from a renter. He paid a handyman to replace about 1/3 of the subfloor. He then used killz to seal the areas that were minor. Then did ozone on the whole place. I bought it about 100k under value. I put a thick pad down carpet. It wouldn’t take laminate flooring. He was full disclosure on the whole thing, no realtor. I updated the rest of the house mostly paint, put nice counters, new sink, new appliances in there and made 170k in profit. The smell never returned. I imagine the subfloor was less than $1000, cheap handyman maybe $2000, a little paint, I paid $4,500 for carpet. Costs have probably went up since 2018. Probably 15k if you manage the project to minimize cost, also depends on sqft. Mine was about 1500sqft area. I imagine that’s the extreme low end. Contractor probably double that.
