Hello.
The title says it all!
We moved into a house where an old lady lived, and unfortunately one of the bedrooms has the albeit faint smell of old urine. I've used a bicarbonate of soda and vinegar mixture on it twice which has helped but the odour is still there.
We're actually going to put carpet over the floorboards anyway, so my question is can I get away with the faint smell of carpets once I put underlay and carpet over it, or shall I just get some basic floorboards to replace them?
Also, I read that plywood over the floorboards and under the underlay is good for cushion, before laying the carpet, is that right?
Many thanks.
