I don't saturate an area 4X6 . I first explain to the customer that as long
as you still have the pet we can not guarantee any results. I then explain that , " the extreme in a urine contamination case is that the carpet is discarded, the floor is treated & sealed and a new or remnant carpet installed. ( No I don't want to do That is always the response) "So the best that we can do for you mam when contamination occurs is to locate , as best we can where the pet has urinated by using a special light that flouresses the urine spots. Once we locate where the urine has gone in to the carpet , we can saturate that area with a product that helps breaks down the bacteria and stain.(PRO"S CHOICE OSR) After it dwells for a while we extract it out and rinse it . "As you may know Mam or sir , the spot on top of the carpet can be the size of a quarter and the spot below the carpet can be the size of a basketball so there is no way of guaranteeing that we are going to get it all ..But it should be a good improvement. The cost is $75.00 per hour for the time spent on the contamination. Usually we can do most rooms in 1/ 2 to 1 hour. I'll know more once we start the process. Do you wish us to proceeds? Doug and Mr. Steamer what is your alternative for Filtration lines and or urine contamination. There is nothing 100% in these situations. Filter out is the best I have found to date . If you are willing to share your solution to the above situation , please do , it will be appreciated Thanks |

danmark: Is there any health issues with the pro's choice that is left in the carpet? Is there an off gassing affect while so much is left there? What about residue left on the spot?

Doug,
I draw as much out of the carpet as possible with the water claw then I rinse the spots and area thoroughly if residue is left under the carpet I doubt we have any health issues. Remember what Health issue we had prior to starting the process. The carpet was contaminated with Urine. A question such as this would be better answered by the chemist at pro's choice. Again , What is your alternative if you would share your way with the rest of us so we can all improve. Thanks in advance |

danmark: If the carpet is contamimated what about the underpad and floor? The area of underpad contamination is probably 3 or 4 times greater than the carpet. If I was to find several areas that I could locate because the animal male or female has alot to do with and where the contamination is located. I unfortunately call a spade a spade and don't bs the client into thinking I can squirt and suck the problems away. You maybe making a slight difference but not enough in my books to pay you for. All this topical application crap is just chemical companies bs making you believe that you are making a difference. I believe I read someplace that a medium sized dog can leave about 50 or so gallons of urine in a year. Now if the dog has gone on that spot say 10 or 20 times. You tell me that you are going to suck that threw the scrim on the carpet. If you can't blow threw it you can't dry it. Leaving you chemical to do nothing but mask the odour and maybe over time have some affect on it.

First of all Doug, I am not BS'ing anyone I am describing how I handle the
urine contamination at this time until you are willing to post your better method so we all can learn a better way. (So far no positive answers.) If you will go back and review my explanation to the customer. This is all about alternatives. The customer is told of the only surefire way of getting rid of the contamination.( removal / replacement and clean disinfect and reseal the floor etc. ....they are not willing to go that route. We then offer them the option to locate each urine spot with a black light treat the urine spot not only the quarter size spot on top but by finding out how big the dog is I saturate an area about 4to5 times the size of the spot on top. this takes into account that the pad spot below is always bigger than the top spot. We saturate to reach as far down as the urine. I would never ever saturate a carpet unless I knew positively that I can remove the moisture as far down as I am letting it get. If you have never used a Water Claw or OSR I recommend checking it out. It does draw the moisture from deep into the bottom layers. If you are only willing to bash someone when they explain a newer method that works for them . SO BE IT. No one said you had to use this method. You act as if we are shoving a method down your throat I'm not. I am only explaining what works for me and I feel I am very upfront with the customer. reread my previous post. If you have a better method Please share it with all of us so we can all learn how to properly handle urine contamination. Thanks |

danmark: Kool your jets. You can handle urine how ever you like. I am saying I would not and will not and do not attempt to explain how I can attempt to rectify a problem I can't see. You do what works for you. I am not bashing anyone. I am as I have stated on other boards not in agreement on how urine decontamination is carried out. You notice I don't call it removal as you are not removing it you are attempting to neutralize it with chemicals and water. You carry on however you like as this is the reccognized way of the industry. I just don't happen to agree with it. So what does that make me? Dumb, stupid, you tell me. Unlike some I still have a mind of my and I am not affraid to dissagree with the powers that be.

Doug,
I can tell by your other posts you are neither dumb nor stupid just because you disagree with " the recognized way of the industry " as you so put it . You have EVERY RIGHT to express your views. Thats how we learn and change. Post AWAY . But there is a difference between destructive criticism and constructive criticism. you offered no better method or ideas of improvement just criticism. and " I did take offense to the INSINUATION that I BS my customers." look back at the post I don't think any of what i did was other than " the recognized way of the industry " as you put it. I explain to the customer my procedure, what to expect and what not to expect, tell them the cost, ask their permission to proceed and try to outperform their expectations can you ask for a much more professional way to handle urine contamination issues. I along with many other observers on this site perhaps would like to learn how exactly you handle a urine contamination job in a more professional manner. Not everyone has to do everything alike. Here is your chance.... We are here to learn . Me included. I never give my customers false expectations. I try to undersell and outperform, then everyones happy. Are there others out there that are willing to share their methods with us . it can't be that BAD, or can it ? BE STRONG!!!! |
