I had to pull up a lot of vinyl tiles in my basement over a concrete floor. (The previous owners alloed their dogs to go to the bathroom on the flooring and I am trying to get rid of the smell - planning on trying some vinegar and enzymatic treatments and then maybe painting with kilz). My question is do I need to get rid of all the leftover adhesive if I am going to have carpet placed over the concrete? Or can I just treat the areas that have sever odor issues. Can I paint right over the leftover adhesive with kilz or is that just a pointless adventure? If anyone has any better ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks in advance
