Heavy urine stains: Please advise-- is this the machine for me?

This machine can work for you. I have 4 dogs! If there's an accident, the first thing I do is detach the hose a suck up the mess. Next, I spray Spotshot on the spot & let it sit for 1 minute & then use the machine to suck that out of the carpet too. Third step is to reattach the hose & let Spotbot do the cleaning for you. I have found that for urine, it does work best on the set-in stain setting. After cleaning, I always use Nature's Miracle on the area so the dogs don't return to the same spot. Works like a charm!

I don't know but that's actually my next test. I have cat urine stains that I have tried shampooing with no luck. I'm going to use the nok-out in the shampooer and give it another go. My guess is that it will remove the smell, but probably not the stain.

As on any spot, make sure to pretreat with one of Nature's Miracle for cat urine. Then cleaning area with a spray bottle mixture of hot water and shampoo as a temporary fix does work, but make sure to blot the area quite well removing as of as much dampness as possible. But truthfully the action of a rug cleaner is best and there are several "Spot cleaners" on the market that are affordable and work quite nicely. Spray bottles and a sponge just can't get as deep as the urine already had. Using a product to break down the urine is as important as this shampoo, they work hand and hand. But how well you use the shampoo makes all the difference. Again as a quick fix use by hand, but a machine is best.

This a well constructed box & can't imagine it won't be around for many, many years. As for stains, how could urine & feces stain plastic? Unless you're an absolute pig who doesn't clean a litter box for years on end, I don't understand your question? You should probably contact the manufacturer.

hey!! i actually know the answer to your problem. i used to live in a house with a well and for the first time in my life, had hard water stains in my toilet. i didn't even know what they were for awhile (i had grown up with city water) but i couldn't get rid of them for the life of me. i don't know how i found them, but i bought something called "pumice sticks" and the hard water stains rubbed right off!!!! i can't understand how they didn't scratch the toilet itself, but they didn't. i just checked and amazon sells them - do a search on pumice sticks. and frankly, i see that they sell them with handles - get those!! mine were just rectangle blocks and even with gloves, i hated having to actually stick my hands into my toilet and scrub away. a handle would have been a nice option. good luck!!

Honestly I only use each pad only once, but I have mainly done so because I feel like they get too gross (I moved into a house and used on toilets with grimey rings). I have to say regardless they are worth it. My Dad used one of mine at his house and then bought a lot of them from Amazon immediately; he even wanted to invest in them and could not believe he never heard of them before. There just is nothing like it that I have seen for removing unsightly stains I once thought were permanent.

You may have to go over the carpet a few times since it has been a year....i cleaned fresh blood out of a dirty carpet with this machine but it did take pre treaing and 2 cleaning attempts...this is a good machine for "ongoing" routine cleaning...

Yes. Make sure you use the recommended amount. But for urine spots first pour biokleen bac-out directly on the spot. Then extract with the machine after 10 min dwell time. Setup a fan to air dry the spot

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.

The Urine Eliminator takes no scrubbing . . . just lay a color-fast, damp cloth over the spot after spraying with the product and let it stay there until the cloth has air dried. (I use an old white damp washcloth.) I must say though, since it's been over a month since using this product, it seems I may have to use it again, as it doesn't "eliminate" the urine totally.

We've had it for over a year, and have found that a sponge and soapy water have cleaned any stains pretty well. If we ran into a worse problem, I'd likely try carpet/upholstery cleaner, but no need yet.

I believe I read on the official website that the Advanced Stain & Oder Remover is used more to remove odors and repel the animal...whereas the normal Stain and Oder Remover is geared more towards removing the actual urine along with stain. I believe the Advanced version really does it all though.

We have an HE machine as well. For large diaper loads (more than 10 diapers), I use 2 scoops of the detergent and for small loads (less than 10 diapers), I use 1 scoop. I have not had any build-up problems to date. Note that I wash my diapers twice, each time. After washing the diapers the first time, I take a look at each of the diaper liners (the outer part) to see if there are any marks or discoloration on the white part that actually touches our son and I use a stain stick on those diapers. Then I throw all the diapers back into the washing machine with the appropriate amount of diaper detergent (1 or 2 scoops) for a second washing. Then I dry them (liners and inserts).

Great Question!! I have considered it, but I would suggest emailing them at support@petseer.com to make sure this is an effective way to clean, since it is necessary to let the product sit on your carpet for a couple of minutes to breakdown the protein found in 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. :)

It is Ok for the occasional accident and will pick up stains. Urine is tough if you don't get it right away as it will get into the padding under carpet. The portable cleaner does a great job for little spills and stains.

Have you tried White Bright? I just read about it in a blog and found it here on Amazon. It says it can do this, in the description, Going to try it for something white with a red stain that also bled. Let me know if you found something that works though? Thanks! : )
