Odor in kitchen cabinets

11 years ago

We recently bought an older home. We have a lot of renovations to take place so we are doing a simple kitchen facelift for now (painting cabinets & adding new hardware). The previous owners small dog urinated in the corner of the kitchen often, where it ran underneath one specific set of cabinets. Thus, the entire kitchen smells like dog urine on a regular basis. We plan to replace the baseboard but cannot replace that specific set of cabinets. Is there anyway to combat the odor? Would a primer like Kilz Max help before painting that cabinet set? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Is there somewhere you could pour Clear the Air? It is like a sand. Otherwise I'd start reading pet forums.

This works like a charm to get cat urine smell out. I can't imagine it wouldn't work for dog urine.

Can you pull out the cabinets and clean under them? It just sounds so unhygienic to just cover up the odor.

FYI, the cleaner I posted, along with Nature's Miracle and several others works via enzymes, I believe, and actually eats away at the odor - so, does not cover up odor, gets rid of it. And, again, it gets rid of cat urine and I'm pretty sure that if something gets rid of cat urine it can get rid of anything.

Dog pees in kitchen. Pee runs under cabinets. Pee stays under cabinets out of reach of cleaners. ????
