Doe’s anyone know if the product Biozyme (industrial enzymatic) works well on pet urine (dog & CAT) in plywood subfloors? I called a large apartment complex in my area, they say it works well. I am more impressed with the rational on there website that any other product that I have looked at. I have talked with most of the restoration companies in my area & no one seems to have a good grip on how to deal with this problem. some areas of my floor are still damp (no one has lived in the house for over 6 months) and I will probably replace those areas. I posted a similar question last week & got some good info & checked the archives on this site, but I am still having trouble knowing exactly how to best approach this problem.
Also what is the best product to seal the wood with after I treat it? It looks like someone attempted to seal it before in places with KILLS or something similar.
Should I also place a vapor barrier over the subfloor after I use a sealer?
someone please help! Thanks!

I have told this story before but here you go. I bought a house a few years ago that the tennants were mad at the land lord so they locked their rotweiler in it for 3 weeks. They just stopped by and fed and watered the dog. He did his business in this house for 2 solid weeks and I am sure he did some prior to that. In one area there was a circle of dried urine 3 foot in diameter.
Take white vinegar and mix it 50/50 with water. Slosh the area generously and let it air dry for a few days. Now coat the area with 2 coats of Bins sealer. You are done. I did this (used 3 gallons of vinegar!) in that particular house and have had no complaints from the 3 tennants that have lived there since. DanT
