Has anyone encountered this issue before and if so how did you resolved it? I painted a room with Valspar matt emulsion and the room now smells like cat pee :-( I have been using the same paint elsewhere and this hasn't happened. Difference with this room is that I was painting over glossy eggshell paint on lining paper. I did wash the walls with sugar soap first. Brewers recommend using an alkali resistant sealer. Thanks.

Happened to me. My freshly painted room stank of cat’s pee for about two weeks, then disappeared overnight.

Thank you both, it's just so peculiar. If anyone else has suggestions on how to resolve the issue, I'd be grateful to hear.

Just giving this a bump, in case anyone else can help by sharing their experience. Many thanks!
