Hi all,
I'd really appreciate any advice on this one. We've just moved into our first house where unfortunately, the previous owner seemed to allow his dogs to use the hallway as a urinal. There is a distinct, uninviting odour along with big stains across the carpet, so we've pulled it up to reveal a concrete floor with clear, large areas of damp; he had no underlay under the carpet.
We're going to lay a laminate floor (alresdy bought) and intend to use a damproof membrane (not bought yet), then a 5mm fibre board underlay (already bought).
Any ideas how I can dry the floor and remove the odour? Are there any products on the market to fit the bill? How about kitty litter or a de-humidifier?
Thank you all in advance!
