[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 10195428, member: 1136"]My neighbor is having to quickly move from her home and is greatly down sizing. It was a bit of a hoarder situation, so when she told me to come see what she had for sale I didn't get a really great look at everything :sour: One of the pieces I bought was a 1970s Ethan Allen server. I found the same one Cherish, just so yall have an idea of what I'm talking about. When I got it on my porch I noticed it was [I]sticky.[/I] I sprayed it with a cleaner and that's when the cat urine smell started up, and that's when I noticed a cat must have been peeing on it for quite some time :arghh: I got a solution of half vinegar and half water and started spraying, wiping, scrubbing, so much the finish has come off in the area (which the piece is going to have to be completely stripped anyways), but if I run my fingers over the area, the cat pee smell still lifts off. I probably (did) over paid for the items I bought because I couldn't tell the condition of everything, I was going on good neighborly faith :facepalm:, so Im going to have to try and make this work... Whats the best method to get the urine smell out of the wood? Will stripping, sanding, paint/stain work? Or do I need to take an extra step?
