I'm trying to find a product for attic remediation that's safe for animals and doesn't have a lingering smell. My contractor plans to HEPA vacuum and spray a botanical disinfectant, but they mentioned the smell might stick around since it's oil-based. Can anyone recommend alternatives or share their experiences?

For your situation, you might want to look into botanical disinfectants that specifically advertise as having low odor or being animal-friendly. A couple of brands that come to mind are those that focus on natural ingredients. They usually perform well without the harsh smells that traditional products have.
It sounds like you're dealing with some mold up there, which isn't fun! Instead of sticking with what your contractor has suggested, consider using an enzyme cleaner as a first step. These products are designed to break down organic materials and are usually much less harsh. Plus, they tend to have minimal odor compared to oil-based cleaners.
That’s a good idea! I had a similar issue and used an enzyme cleaner before switching to a regular disinfectant. It worked well, and I didn't notice any strong smells lingering after the job was done.
Absolutely! I've used a couple of those botanical options and found them effective without the bad smell. Just be sure to read reviews to pick a reliable one!
