My sister stayed with my mom for almost 2 years, with her three dirty dogs.

I like dogs.

But she never washed them and let them on the furnature. Even though my mother told her no.

So they move out and my moms condo reeks of dog.

I steamed the carpets and that seemed to help, but some rooms still have a slight dog odor.

Any ideas on getting rid of it?

Gasoline and a box of matches.

Or something from Petsmart designed for eliminating dog funk.

Also try Febreeze. It works well on hockey gear.

1. Replace all furniture=$4000
2: Replace all carpet=$3000
3: Bleach the concrete floor for a week=$50
4: Gut the AC ducts and re-duct=$3000
5: Replace Air handler=$1500
6: Repaint=$1000

Cost to clean up after tenants with dogs and cats leave
Priceless

They make a Febreeze just for pet odors. Also try using baking soda or borax for carpet freshener.

Is Fabreeze a perminant thing?

Pretty much. I don't know how or why it works, but it does.

Use gas.

Not joking; you can buy or rent a machine which creates Ozone or if you're DIY-man you can build one yourself.
Ozone is bad news to bacters and all and takes the smell away. For example Ozone generators are used when contractors rebuilt burnt apartments etc and they work really well.
In bigger amounts Ozone isn't too healthy for humans so you may want to stay with your friends few days...

I vote for Febreeze. It'll take the funk out of anything. Well, almost anything.
