How do you guys that cimex/encap residential homes treat dog urine? Just wondering, because i'm doing a quickie cleaning for a friend after he's moving out of his rental, and i'm gonna cimex it, but there is some urine stains here and there...

thanks!

Joe

ps odors not a problem, just the stains...

CTI urine stain remover

Extract like in HWE. Joe, you do a dis-service to whomever is moving into that rental unit. Releasit was designed for the commercial mkt. where you hardly ever find dog urine. Rick sells a good line of extractors. Urine needs to be loosened up and flushed out.

Hi Joe,

HYDROX! is recommended. But before applying Hydrox, while the stain is dry first apply Odorcide (no dwell time) to counteract the odor. Then Apply generous amount of HYDROX let it dwell 5 to 10 minutes and extract with your OP machine and bonnet.

Thanks

Cultivate the "OCCD" you had at first for the industry!

use an OP machine and bonnet.

I do use pad cap pro on resi with pee spots.

As joe said you do a disservice to the next owner if you dont extract the carpet with HWE. Flip the script for a moment if you moved into this apartment would you want your child to be crawling around on the carpet. As Arsenio Hall used to say "things that make you go hmmmmmmm"

I gotta go with Ray on this one too.  It is the right thing to do.  I love my encap equipment and chamicals but as I professional I cannot encap/OP urine to me it is unethical because it really does not handle it properly.

If you don't have HWE equipment even a good Ridgid wet/dry vac can hook up to a water claw to extract the urine (or so I have heard- I have never done it myself).

i've used UrOut with my challenger and cotton pads in my own home. i've had great success on resi jobs w/ dog urine spots.

I'll agree you probably did remove the spots from the carpet but as anyone in this business can tell you if the spot you see is only the tip of the iceburg. But were talking about ethics and integrity ( im not questioning yours, let me make that clear) but anyone knows that a urine spot on the top of the carpet is twice that size on the bottom,as well as the unseen bio issues that are left behind, again there is know way to effectively clean urine from carpet without HWE?!?!?

If you are just worried about the stain (which was your original question) I would use either Hydro-x or CTI's urine stain remover.

exactly Kevin.

as most of us know, the only TRUE way to treat urine is pull the carpet up, tear out and replace the pad, seal or replace the subfloor. treat & clean the back side of the carpet, treat and clean the top side of the carpet.

if u wanna get technical.

any1 think the apartment manager is gonna give the green light on the proper way?

to remove pet stains, what Kevin or i said works great

I completely agree with Ray. However only certian spots have urine while the bulk of the carpet does not. So if you have a spotters claw, wet vac and, some Urine treatment. You can flush the urine stains out then cimex the rest of the carpet. No dis-service done....

so you can use a water claw with a wet vac?

I have heard of others doing that- I have not done it myself.

I personally have used it with my Aztec spotter and it worked just fine, just a lot of dumping involved.
