I pull the carpet/pad and tack strip, use a bleach water solution to mop subfloor (with respirator) rinse, then after dry, I also use the oil based kilz on subfloor (pretty thick, respirator a must); then, and I am rooting for you Jeff, and hoping you do not need the next step..... but if you still smell it.....

And rabbit pee is meant to be the worse - and it damages hardwood floors quite badly - it literally strips the coating off the floor.But removing carpet is easy, buy a mask, and get on your hands and knees with a knife, pry bar, whatever.Really recommend these:http://t.homedepot.com/p/3M-Professional-Multi-Purpose-Respirator-62023HA1-A/202080144/ And then burn your clothes afterwards.

Has anyone re-surfaced/ re-glazed a bathtub suround?
28 October 2015 | 9 replies
A few key points. 1) this stuff is toxic and can hurt you or worse (be 100% sure you buy respirator and have fresh air blown in) and only do it in unoccupied unit. maybe worst (toxic) stuff I have worked with residentially... bugs were dropping dead by the window...2) no it is not forever permanent--but what it is. 3) prep, prep, and more prep. 4) I would use it on a surround that gets some water splash--not where it gets constant water or submersed (like actual tub, need heavy duty stuff there). 5) follow all instructions and research well....cheap (25-30 bucks + roller)--but a lot of prep labor. it would make the surround look nice enough for the sale and/or get you through a few tenancies on a shoestring until you or someone replaces it.
