How to seal cat odor?

My mom, who passed away a year ago, was a hoarder and cat hoarder. She had one cat who never used the litter box, and of course, that was the one she doted on. And of course, the others were drawn to go all over the place, too. One MF used to pee on the wall. I want to keep the house and fix it up, although I don’t live here right now. I come every few months. I had a contractor come in to quote on some work. We badly need new windows and a few other things. I asked the contractor about sanding the floors, and he said the best way to get rid of the cat smell would be to put a sealant/odor killing primer, and then laminate flooring. I won’t be able to afford that just now. I was thinking of painting the floors and walls with some kind of odor killing primer, and paint. I want to add that all the walls are cheap painted wood panelling. I need a solution that will take me through a year or two, depending on how quickly I can get the other things paid off. What do you think of this plan and what would be the best product(s) to use? TIA! submitted by /u/FranceBrun [link] [comments]
