I have a home that was infested with cats. The second you walk in, the smell punches you in the face. The floor has been stripped down to sub-floor and the sub-floor must still be holding odor along with walls, ceilings, and everything else in the house. Has anyone had luck with spraying down the entire house or have any tricks/tips on ridding the smell without replacing the sub-floor, drywall, etc? Thanks!

Hi @Kyle Grimm! I've got a Cat House that is days away from finally losing that name. It's been a battle for sure and I want to pass along the most impactful jabs that have worked for me:
- Sanding down wood floors, removing carpet and pad in carpeted rooms
- Spraying a good coat of Kilz on the walls, ceiling and trim,
- Have HVAC ductwork cleaned
- Run Ozone machine for max (2 days), then hit it again in a few days. Follow air-out procedures
- Clean all appliances and kitchen cabinets
- Pray to God that the cats and the cat ladies stay far away
