I need your help, fellow members!! Please advise.
Short story shortened , unexpectedly we purchased a house that we plan to turn into our primary residence . The previous owners currently in the house have a dog couple of cats and couple of bunnies. House is pretty well kept without any noticeable air fresheners purifiers and house has no noticeable pet odors. Hardwood floors all around in great shape. Previously, I moved with the dogs never with the cats, so I’m not quite sure how to handle this.
I intend to paint whole house before move and of course will be cleaned. I’m worried that my cats will move in and smell the previous animals and that we may have major problem. They again will have their own room with all of their furniture ,litter boxes ,toys and their rug moved in before they are moved in. My fear is that once they start explore rest of the house that they will smell and …… spray?!?
Am I crazy for entertaining the idea to hire cleaning company that cleans crime scenes and after some other gruesome stuff …… tell me that I’m crazy !?!?……or not. ? I would welcome any knowledge and suggestions to make this as painless as possible for them not only that I need advice for preparing a house for them but also what to do once once we are there. I will have all the furniture moved from the old house and will be buying new(if i see fit) at least 6 months down the road in order to transfer as much familiar scent as I can.
Please, please advise.
