Also, heat tends to bring out smells, so if it was warmer in the house when she was there she might have picked up on that.

The only time I ever told a friend that her place smelled, was when she had 2 guinea pigs and 2 rabbits in her small bedroom. She asked for my opinion, and I told her it might be a bit much, so she rearranged her animals.

I'm sorry you are going through this,As Aries has said"Some cleaners smell like urine,i have the same kind of idea,I have always thought that some cleaners bring the smell out more than others,I had the same problem when i moved into my home,But it was all from my dogs there was no other animals in this house till i came,Mind you the girls were about 6 months old and Bandit was just a baby,This hole house was carpet,even the kitchen i ripped it all out,put laminate down,Honestly i hate carpet expecially when you have pets it always sucks the smell,odour in i used to use the carpet powder.everything nothing worked,and i myself are big on smells,So all carpet is gone.
I went out and bought all those glade air freshners i have one in all rooms (Apple Cinnamon)best smell ever.....and i do not have a problem You have to do something when you have as many animals as i do,it dont matter if you house sparkles you are always going to know that there is animals in my house,and i do not give a crap if people like it or not,I have many friends that hate animals,great people but are never in my home my babies come first,I wish you luck with the carpets!!!
