Getting the STANK OUT of a Rental Property

[John C.]

Hello Everyone,

I recently evicted a tenant that regularly let pet dog poop inside the apartment EVERYWHERE. When we were clearing out her apartment in front of the sheriff, there was literally dried dog poop every foot or two.

We have cleared out the apartment, but there's still a slight poop smell existing. I have ceramic tile floors throughout the apartment, regular white latex-painted walls, and drop ceiling tiles on the ceiling. I've cleaned the ceramic tile floors twice - once with bleach and once with vinegar solution, but the smell is still there. 

Has anyone dealt with smells before (smoke, feces, etc)? Any suggestions, guys?
