Cat Pee House from Hell!

[Jacob Murphy]

Hey BP! I bought a house at a foreclosure auction at the court house steps last year. I thought it was a great BRRRR deal since I bought for 50K and it has a ARV of 205K, however I wasn't expecting the inside to be as terrible as it is. Long story short I have already filled 7 30 yard dumpsters full of garbage from the house and ripped everything down to the studs.

My question is how do you get rid of a cat pee smell from an entire house? I have ripped out the flooring and walls so the only place that the cat pee can still be is in the subfloor which I don't want to remove. I have tried spraying the entire floor with undiluted white vinegar but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. 

Any tips out there? I have heard of folks using Ozone machines for smoke smell, does this also work for cat urine?

@Jacob Murphy,

We had to deal with a cat pee from h*ll in 2017, it was miserable, absolutely disgusting.    

Before you go  ripping up sub floors, I'd buy the Natures Miracle spray at Home Depot... we went through about 8 bottles  and eventually the smell was taken care of.. I'd try doing this, be aggressive as you can with it... also, the crawl space likely needs to be cleaned out too, can you get someone to make sure it's secured and cats aren't still down there?
