very,very bad dog smells
« on: September 06, 2008, 06:39:18 am »
Morning all,

I have a problem with an empty house ( 3 bed terrace) , when  lived in there were also 3 german shepard dogs   ,
Now it stunk so bad when it was empty, before we cleaned the windows were opened and we then started  , we then carpet cleaned using HWE and the correct chemicals suggested by prochem.
We left the windows open for 2 days and the inspection took place, house passed no problems.
House was all closed up and left for 15days and the housing officer opened the door to go in and nearly passed out with the smell.
He has been on the phone asking what can be done to resolve this as the new tennants will notice the smell too.
Does the fogging work?  new carpets?
I think the smell is in the wood work, walls doors

Anybody come accross this problem

Many thanks
Nick

Sounds like you have a major odour problem which is a specialist subject, ozone could be an answer but needs to be used with caution, was the property damp when the housing officer returned, dehumidification can be used to remove odours as well as chemical use, urine off, other odour removers, dry wet fogging, odour seals, whatever course of action you use you need to address the actual source or sources ie thorough cleaning and removal of any solids or contaminates

Nick, I have used prochem A222 in my fogger combined with microsan to good effect on these jobs - wear a mask when fogging because it makes your tongue go numb :'( :'(
