Actually I have no idea if subfloor is the right term, I have suspended chipboard floor and in the kitchen have had ceramic tiles down for 20 years.
Have just lifted the tiles as having LVT and there is a distinct smell of dog wee.
This will be from my dog who as a puppy wee'd in the kitchen overnight for a number of months. It has obviously permeated the grouting (and an area where the grouting had come out) and got into the chipboard.
From memory of having the LVT in the hall the installer laid a thin layer of plywood and then latex'd over then laid the LVT strips.
I'm assuming that once it's down the smell won't be noticeable (it certainly wasn't before the tiles came up).
But the flooring will probably be up for a couple of months due to various reasons so I'd like to do something about the smell if possible, and it would also be good to eliminate it just in case it would come through the LVT.
Any ideas?
I'm assuming I can't mop it as the chipboard would swell.
What about a very swift steam mop?
Any dry product which would be applied?
