After cleaning my carpets, I still see urine stains with a black light but they are much more faint. Is this normal?

Yup, totally normal. The part of cat pee that fluoresces is phosphate and, as far as I know, has no smell in and of itself. You might notice that laundry/dish soaps often fluoresce, because they also contain phosphates.

Yes. I noticed though when I tried to shampoo the carpet that it made the smell stronger. I think it may be just the dried urine getting wet that makes the smell worse. This product completely gets rid of the smell though!

I'd need a little more information before I could a answer your question... Did you use the product as directed? How much did you use on the stain at one time? I've never had that happen with this product. You could have used too much or not let it dry between uses, or something in the carpet cleaner may have reacted with the enzymes in the Nature's Miracle. I personally love the product and always recommend it.

It would depend upon where the stain is. Even though it neutralizes urine there may be a residue or lighter stain to the NAKED EYE. My guess is that if you used a black light on carpeting there would probably be a ligher stain to show where the original problem was. Good luck.

I had the exact same problem - but then I discovered that when I applied my steamer directly on the Nature's Miracle after it had set for a few minutes, it practically disappears. I already had the steamer, but I would definitely recommend getting one - even a small hand-held one - if cleaning urine stains is going to be an ongoing issue.

Good morning. This bacteria test kit does not NEED a black light (i.e. the lights in dance clubs, bars, haunted houses, etc. that make clothing and fluorescent colored items 'glow'). If the water sample turns color (bluish green) after the appropriate amount of time then the sample contains coliform bacteria and you will more than likely want to have the water tested by a certified water testing lab. Using the black light: If the water sample turns color (bluish green) after the appropriate amount of time and when illuminated by the black light it gives off a fluorescent glow then the sample contains, at the very least, E. Coli, a type of bacteria that causes gastrointestinal illnesses in humans and typically comes from human or animal waste. We hope this helps!

Good day. I do not have pets so I don't know how well it works with pet urine. It does a good job with mild stains. I took before and after pictures of a carpet placed at the entrance to the house. The carpet was exceptionally dirty because of the snowy it wet winter season. I was very pleased with its ability to clean this difficult carpet.

They're more of a brown color and I can't say that I've noticed any stains on the carpets or the dogs. Having said that, I have beige carpets and light brown dogs :)

No, I agree with other answer.. discoloration is normal. instead of cleaning hepa filter (light vacuum) every 3 months as recommended do it monthly or at least every other month. If I were you, I would put in new filter now and do monthly cleaning to see if that makes a difference..

I do not have a black light but will mention that this is an enzyme product - so it "should" be eliminating the problem, provided that you soak the problem area completely. While I do not have a black light, I live in Texas and my AC went out during humid, +90 degree weather. I had a horrible, ongoing, illness related urine problem in one area of the house. If you think regular urine is bad, you have no idea. The heat and humidity that weekend did not kick up any old smell. I have to assume it is gone - but I have no black light proof.

Use the Amazing solutions urine eliminator either by pouring on the area and letting it sit, or by spraying walls and carpets. It's recommended that you use a black light to find the areas soiled and then spray or pour on. Depending on how strong the odor the more you want to apply it.

My issue was cat urine on concrete, which wasn't stained since I always tried to clean up the mess asap. So I'm not sure about it's usefulness on stains.

I did not find it affected residual stains very much. We used our carpet cleaning machine first, then applied the product. I did not use the pre-treat product (can't remember the name) and so can't tell you if that would make a difference in the stains. It is the best product I've used to combat cat urine.

Of course it will, any organic stains will fluoresce. In a darkened room it will light up the urine spots on the walls......among other places. :)
1296149
Yes. If u r close to the ground and lights off, u will see all fluid stains.

my experience has been a faint, barely detectable line on my test and my wife's line has been a shade darker,each staying consistent between 6-10 weeks of abstaining from use. we did test a strip with synthetic urine obtained online and the negative result line was much darker. even with our bareley detectable results on the strip we passed our tests with no problem. hope this helps.

Hi April This would be the unit that help eliminate the worst of the urine smells ozone is a great oxidizer. There is some things to know to help you with this problem I have been in the carpet cleaning business for over 40 years. So if you have carpet you should have it cleaned first to remove most of the urine steam truck mount should be your best bet on powerful deep down urine removal. There also is a difference if it is a cat or dog. Cats have a stronger urine then a dog and that is from the kind of food cats eat. Now you should have the purifier in the room with the worst urine odor that will help the odor for migrating to other parts of the house. I also can give you more ideas of thing you can do so if you would like a more personal assessment of your problem just give me a toll free call . 800-868-5534 I do take call just about anytime even on Sundays thanks Lou hope I was of some help.
