If I had the time kenny, I would probably be able to make apple juice from apples, wine from grapes, and have acres of spaghetti fields to feed the needy. Wink

If bleach was the only option I would pass on the job.

You might want to call it your "special solution" and not mention that it's bleach.

There have been times when I walked into a house and it was as if I walked into a giant urinary tract. Of course, it would be best to simply discard the carpet and pad, clean the subfloor etc. but some customers don't want that for varying reasons. I have found that a dab of bleach in your extraction water works better than anything. Of course I would also recommend water claw flushes and make sure you charge a significant amount extra for it. I would stay away from the $75 a gallon chemicals because they are too expensive and don't even work as well as a $3 gallon of bleach. You just have to be very conservative with how much bleach you use so you don't damage the carpet. Sounds like the carpets already damaged with urinary track infection..Unhappy LOL Unhappy Dead
Pet OSR.. Has enzymes works better and safer than bleach. 4oz of bleach boosted in your prespray might brighten the tips of a nasty but then your lungs are going to thank you later in life... Soak the area let the zymes do their thing then water claw it. After that inject zymes in the pad then spay a mist before you leave. Expensive service but it will cure the UTI...(urinary track infection)..LOL! Confused

Good info. But I think it should be mentioned!!!! Never use bleach on carpet in machines or anywhere near carpets.  It ruins your clothes, your nose and sometimes if you are working with someone who isn't as trained as you may make a costly mistake.  My two cents.  Hope I've helped anyway.

You got that right aquality. Whoever is using bleach it must be rinsed out
and neutralized. Hot water won't do it..Cry  Stern Smile Angry Dead Big smile LOL
 
It will reactivate when humidity is up and a person that is sweating
like a Pig on the carpet. LOL Shocked Approve Cool
