Cat Odor in the house
My tenants had multiple pet cats which had left a real strong smell and odor in the house. House has wooden floors on which i can see signs pee which has turned black over time.
I plan to sell this house after repair, real estate agents tell me that it is impossible to remove the odor.
Andy suggestions to remove the odor would be really appreciated.

Pull up and replace the damaged flooring. If the subfloor is damaged, mop with bleach mixture, cover with 2 coats of Kiltz and one coat of transparent sealer. Fresh wall paint wil help hide any remaining smell.
