I just ordered ANOTHER case of UPT and Milgo this month. ANOTHER $200! Yes, I'm making money with pet stains but also spending a great deal. So I'm wondering what works for you guys, what products and the cost. Are you using a claw to extract subsurface damage? How is that working for you? |

Textile rinse, waterclaw, Triple Action, wait 20 minutes, waterclaw, repeat if necessary. Triple Action by Esteam is a odour absorbent, enzyme and encapsulant all in one.

| I don't doubt it Andy. I use ammonia and an iron on red stains rather than Red Dye remover and it works GREAT! Any way to neutralize the smell of vinegar before applying? |

that is one of the bad features of using vinegar- the smell. Most people like it much better then the smell of the dog urine!!!! I mix a small amount of deodorizer into the mix and that usually makes it tolerable. ------------- AndyMan |

The claw may work great on a fresh stain , but im usually called after it accumulates.
Overspray with prezyme rinse with fiber rinse and overspray with enzyme 5.

I think that the key is to remove most of the stain using a white cloth immediately, but if you are not a professional in this field, you'd better contact one for a complete pet stain and odor removal. |

Most urine problems require a strong acid to counter the high alkalinity accept for the freshest of piddles.

Vinager and water... throw in a little baking soda if the stain has been there a long time. Soak... let sit then extract with a water claw. FLUSH the area again with clean water and extract again with a water claw. Spray on Odorcide and that problem is history... NEVER to return again. It's CHEAP, easy and effective.... kinda like my first girlfriend! :):) ------------- Home of the FIX PRIXING carpet cleaning! |

In my experience, you need to break down the urine first then use an enzyme cleaner. Vinegar does work and I use it when I run out. But Vinegar is only a quick fix. Some more severe jobs. You will run into problems with the smell because you are using alot more vinegar.

Yeah I've tried protein spotters but with minimal results. I think the best one I've found so far was Hrvrd Pet stain off. Do I just need to be really persistent, treat, dwell, rinse, extract with claw, repeat.... |

It's very rare that I would put that much into removing a spot. You'll eventually cause texture change and possibly color loss if you throw too much into it. Haven't you ever had a dry cleaner tell you they were unable to continue treating a spot because of possible damage to the garment? Give it a reasonable amount of attention then call it a day. |

There is a multitude of companies who make a multitude of excellent products for removal and killing odor from urine stains. But, the true secret is in the delivery system of the said products. To be anywhere close to total success you need the proper tools. Yes, a blacklight or moisture probe or both for identification purposes. You need to first know what and how big the problem you are attempting to fix. Then comes the product and lots of it as the urine is most likely all the way down through the carpet and underpad and into the floor. Spritzing a product regardless of how good it is onto the surface is not solving deeper problems. Once the stain has been soaked and given some dwell time you now need a super-sucker. Better known as the spotting http://www.kleenkuip.com/restoration/water_claw.htm - Water Claw . This tool is far superior for removing moisture than any other device yet invented. http://www.kleenkuip.com/restoration/water_claw.htm -  There is no miracle cure and you must invest and work at it. When you do that then you can charge accordingly and professionally. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |

The residual stain may end up being harder to remove than the odour. It may involve using heat transfer in an attempt of stain reduction but this process is best left to someone who has the knowledge of how to do it properly. ------------- Dont treat people like customers.

| I know how to do heat transfer properly. I was just wanting to know if there was a product that could remove the stain left behind with out going through the heat transfer process. |

Times are Changing for the Better! https://shawfloors.com/ - Shaw Floors might just be the company that will bring back the mass flooring installation market to carpets again. Carpeting up until now has not necessarily served the industry and homes very well when it comes to serious spills, stains and odors from pets etc. Shaw has recently invented the new https://shawfloors.com/why-shaw/about-us/shaw-advantages/carpet-advantages/lifeguard-carpet/second-page - LifeGuard Waterproof Carpet with waterproof backing, keeping spills, soils and odors within the carpet. This new technology prevents these and other contaminants from seeping into the underlying concrete or wood flooring causing cleaning nightmares to both the owner and the cleaner. This is the major reason why the trend has switched from luxury soft surfaces to hard flooring substitutes. Made with https://shawfloors.com/why-shaw/about-us/shaw-advantages/carpet-advantages/r2x-stain-resistance - R2X stain and soil resistance system - taking the worry out before spills seep in - blotting and extraction becomes easier and more effective. This new technology in carpets will allow the cleaner to offer a truly clean and odor free guaranteed carpet cleaning process. Hats off to SHAW, we as professionals need to support them.

To remove the pet stains from the carpet, you should follow steps: 1 Start pouring the vinegar over the stain. 2. Apply the baking soda powder over the affected area. you will hear a crackling sound that means the vinegar starts to react with the baking soda. 3. Keep this solution on the carpet for a few minutes. 4. Once the solution dries up to rub the baking soda and take off into the dustbin. 5. At last, vacuum the carpet properly. |

| If you decide to use vinegar, you can also sprinkle it with baking soda. Wait for a bit and then vacuum it up. |

Hi, I'm a homeowner with four cats. One of the older cats seems to be peeing as a defense mechanism against the younger cats. It's often well after the fact before I notice it. I have one of those Bissell home cleaners and have tried that with the "Pet" concentrate. I've also tried the RugDoctor Pro rentals from HomeDepot to clean the stain. I've also tried a mixture of just bleach and water in a spray bottle, then using a brush to rub it into the carpet. Isn't this enoughj to neutralize the smell and keep the cats from coming back? My concern was that the bleach would ruin the carpet, but I checked in a small section before really using it, and it's fine. I'm just really frustrated - I've tried the vinegar/baking soda approach and it hasn't worked and desperate to try anything. btw, is there a more effective way to determine where a cat has peed? I thought maybe a blacklight would help, but it appears to also light up on the cleaning chemicals I've used that remain in the carpet from the RugDoctor :-( |
