KILZ Restoration Primer, Interior, 1 Gallon

I bought a house that had pet odor before I moved in. I figured I would clean it up when I moved in and never gave it much more thought. The carpets were professionally cleaned right before I moved in. Long story short there was always a strong nasty pet odor. I was able to smell it down to the carpet and I tried everything to clean it. from shampooing, vinegar, baking soda, ozone, store bought cleaners, nothing worked. The first year I was unable to open my windows because any humidity that got in that room resulted in the carpet just spewing a horrible odor so bad you could almost taste it. So I gave in and pulled all of the carpet, I found that there was an old tile floor underneath (maybe asbestos floor), and I thought that was good because it sealed the subfloor. when I pulled up the carpet I found stains that were feet in diameter and the smell was almost to unbearable to proceed. but I got it all out, soaked and scrubbed the floor thoroughly a couple times and figured I would just let it air out. Well after about another year of trying to let it air out and dissipate while still cleaning it, I was still unable to open my windows. The smell was better but still there. living in an older house with a crawl space and uneven floors, leveling the house to replace subfloors was not even in financial consideration. So researching for about a year on what to do while the smell was still there, they only thing that seemed like it was guaranteed to work was kilz restoration. The floor is a very shiny smooth tile. Due to the possibility of it being an asbestos floor, I did not sand or prep in any way besides cleaning it one last time. I purchased the kilz adhesion and that was my first layer. I let the adhesion dry for about 2 hours then applied a thick layer of the kilz restoration. The smell was disappearing as I was rolling it on. After the floor was completely covered another few hours of drying and I was able to walk on it. I do have pets, that are trained and house broke, so I kept the room blocked off for about a week to allow it to completely dry. Waiting to be 100% sure this stuff worked before considering putting carpet back in, after a week I unblocked the door ways. There was a very strong ammonia smell along with a weird paint smell for about a 3 weeks, but I am now able to open my windows and all of that is fading and there are no hints of that original pet smell remaining. While trying to figure out carpet the room has been open and between the dog chasing the cat and sliding around, and me walking on it with my work boots, there has not been any chipping or scraping at all, it is getting dirty though. From my experience this is a very strong, durable layer that will cover almost anything. This is not intended for foot traffic so you do need to cover it, but I am very impressed with the overall result and how strong it is. So far this to step layer has solved all of my problems and I now have carpet scheduled to be put in.

WOW!!! This stuff is Ah-mazing and it doesn’t play around. It coats extremely well easy to use. The odor is not offensive it dries fast and if you have pet urine odors especially from cats this will do the trick. I can’t believe how well this fixed the problem. It deserves 10 stars.

Love this paint product. I use it on my basement cement floor and walls. I applied one coat before applying their masonry paint. It has helped to keep my walls and cement areas bright white, clean and insulated from stains and mildew , etc. this paint go’s on smooth and spreads well to cover a large area. I’m a very happy customer.

always used this before to hide sealing stains, it works great no odor only thing is this time around I have to use 3 coats but over all worked great
