What a funny blog, but it's so true, who wants to live in a smelly house? Make sure that you hire a good inspector and a good mold or sewer line inspector as needed to help give you advice on how to get rid of whatever is causing those smells. (Although i don't think an inspector can help get rid of the cat pee smell.)

I've never had to sell a home that smelled bad.  I'm very thankful for that.  I sure have been in them, though.  Most people turn right around and walk out.

Ken, I like the attitude of this post, very upbeat.  As far as the *cat smell* you could phrase it as "distinctive aroma"  LOL.  If this pee is on rugs of any form, I find replacing them the best solution.

Ken,

Invest in a "fresh air by ecoquest" air filtration unit. http://www.ecoquestintl.com/index_home.asp these units placed in even the stinkiest homes can clear out foul odors in about 24-48 hours.

I have two that I rotate through homes. Currey? Kimchee? Cat Pee? No Problem!

Take Care,

David

I showed a condo once that smelled of dog urine so bad it burned my eyes. I had to go outside every couple of minutes to get some air. Oddly the client was really giving it some thought, he wanted a fixer upper, and this one surely qualified.

Ken - This post does not make me want to get a cat anytime soon....I know exactly what you are talking about!!  Is there a good way to tell someone their home gives off an undesireable odor.....?? If so, let me know.

I think I've heard about the air filtration unit that David talked about.  From what I hear, it works very well.  It might be worth considering...

Great post. LOL

My wife used to ask me whenever I took a listing if it was a "cat piss" listing.  That way she could spend the money if it wasn't, and wouldn't if it was.

Of course, I caught on, so every listing was a cat piss lisitng.     

Wow.  Hi Chris, Carl, Debi squared, Stephanie, Michael, David, Valeri, and John.

Thanks for reading.  It's true about the smell.

Hi David, good suggestion.  I wonder if it would work when it is into the floor?

Ken

Try this to get rid of really strong house odors: cut an onion in half and leave out on a plate in the room for a week. You'll be amazed!

Hi Mara.  Interesting solution.  Wow.

Ken

An onion as part of the solution...

Ken

I have also heard about setting the onion out to kill out the other ordors. So remember next time you go to a house that smells bring a onion!lol

Release a skunk into the house.  That should at least cover up the cat pee smell!
