Question from HEG

We have committed to a rental property and have noticed some lingering smells from fragrance products used in the unit. The floors are marble so they probably don’t absorb the odor too much 9I assume), but I was wondering if there is a sealant that we can apply to the walls over the paint to lock the odors in? I am assuming a new coat of VOC-free paint won’t suffice, but I was curious about whether any of the AFM sealers may do the trick?

Thank you.

Debra’s Answer

You are right…a coat of VOC-free paint probably wouldn’t do it. As for the AFM sealants, you should contact them and ask for their recommendation.

Readers, do any of you have experience using any sealants to block fragrance odors?
