Does anyone know where I can order these products or what products I should use please?

Just moved into a new house and during the warmer weather I’ve noticed it absolutely stinks! Smells detected so far are:
Cat urine
General cat and dog smell
Tobacco
Sweaty socks

I’ve aired and cleaned it but can still smell it. This is going to take more than bicarb, vinegar and a bit of zoflora Wink

I know it’ll all need ripping out and our own scent to get into things but for now I just need it clean and smelling fresh, everything is just grimy and smelly! I don’t even care if it ends up smelling of chemicals for the time being!

Steam clean it if you can.

Or get a pro in for a small fee.

Will look into a steam cleaner but I’d rather clean it myself (we have a lot of stuff so moving it to allow access would be a major hassle. If I do it myself I can do a bit at a time and hopefully not have much disruption).

Is ii in the carpets?
Would recommend a carpet washer machine, like a vax or something similar.
Google professional cleaning supplies, and there is always commercial/catering sites come up selling commercial cleaning chemicals.

Here’s one after a quick Google, a secure site too.

We only have carpets in the bedrooms but they do smell a bit of - I don’t know what, the whole house just smells bad! I’m tempted just to remove the carpets at the weekend.

If you can find where the cat did a wee you can a special spray to treat the odour.

For general cleaning, sugar soap on walls and paintwork, Elbow Grease is also good, stardrops range of products are fab, the standard one and the one with ammonia in.

Something like this

fetch.co.uk/simple-solution-stain-odour-remover-for-cats-4l-323753011?gclid=CjwKCAjwur7YBRA_EiwASXqIHJm7Gmj-tPe3kUDIDA6hLH9VoJ3YjdBjvTelmgQbUAhZ9p_YCcZMmBoC3T0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

And hire a carpet cleaner from hss (cheaper than a rug doctor). You can get regular carpet cleaner from Screwfix for s fraction of rug doctors prices

Hg is a good professional brand. Available on eBay with free postage.
