How do you get the funk out???

Looking for cleaning advice from the community.

I'm selling a property where some semi-hoarders grossed out my house for a full 13 months. Despite having a cleaning crew come through and brand new carpet/padding installed, drapes removed, AC filter replaced, it still has an odor that was not there prior. They had four small dogs and they ruined the carpet (hence the 100% replacement), but the rest of the house is concrete and tile....which shouldn't really absorb odor.

Do you guys wash the walls or ceilings? If so, what chemicals (or mix) and how?

If you have done all of the above (which hopefully something already suggested works), and there is still some lingering smell, boil some vinegar and then let the hot vinegar sit in whatever room smells. It will smell rancid for a while (an hour or two), but once you air it out the smell is much better. I did this when I had a roommate who never changed her cat's litter box.
