My tenant moved out about 3 weeks ago and the house still reek of dog pee.
The lease states no pets but you know how it goes. Anyway, I've already
removed the carpet and pad but the odor won't go away. I have about 1,200
sq. ft. of particleboard underlayment so I couldn't use any liquid
chemicals. What next, rip off all the underlayment?

Yes, rip it out. Particle board is great for sucking up any kind of liquid
(and odor), acts like a sponge.

You could try KILZ to seal it

OUTDOOR POLYURETHANE !

Went thru this with my moms house.

Regular poly can soften if it gets wet in the future like by carpet
scrubbing.

outdoor poly is 100% GUARANTEED .........

My moms floors were black in places from urine.

completely fixed the problem which is a realtive of fire restoration.

use kilz oil based on walls
