new smell after ike

[GREASER]

So after recieving some water in a room (ex-garage) that I assume housed some dogs at a earlier time, there is a dog smell that will not go away. It has to be coming from the concrete, as it occured another time the concrete was wet. Is there a way to eliminate it other than sealing the concrete with a primer of some sort?

Have you tried bleach?

If it's anything like cat pee, then even bleach won't help all that much. There are specialty products for getting pet smells out of concrete and wood, etc... check with a big box pet store near you.

The experts on the radio suggest mixing bleach with water and mopping the concrete to prevent mold from growing. Concrete is porous, so it will hold these things. I'd go with the bleach first, since it is cheap. Check the online forums and disaster cleanup sites for more tips.

its not a water problem...that was cleaned up very quickly. There currently is no floor down, and there is a ever present smell of dog hair in the room..its worse when the floor gets wet. I have vacuumed, and mopped. Once the floor is down I doubt you will smell it, but still it bothers me and if I dont remove the smell, I will always think about it evertime I enter the room. I will try a pet store.
