What type of cleaning agent are you using? What type of carpet are you cleaning? Can't be of much help if I don't have any info to start with It is possible that you will not be able to completely remove the discoloring. Especially when the urine spot has been there for a long period of time and it is on a nylon carpet(sometimes customers just let things go too long). If urine is left for to long some of the color will eventually get set into the fibers. When this happens it will be near impossible to extract all of the coloring from the spot because it has essentially become a STAIN. You would have to use a more "Harsh" and "Risky" method of removing it which would mean some kind of spotter that reallies on a chemical reaction to change,remove, or destroy the color. Of course this also means that you run the risk of taking the original dye out of the carpet also leaving you worse off than you were to begin with(and remember most carpet fiber doesn't start out white before manufacturing). So if it were MY customer and all but a slight discoloring still remained I would explain the risks of trying a different method of removal and let them decide whether to leave it be or not. Make sure your spotting agent is leaning towards the acid side of the Ph scale or you will have a heck of a time trying to get it out. If it's on a polypropylene carpet than you're probably just using the wrong cleaner(normally it will come out with just ordinary carpet detergent and some elbow grease). This particular carpet won't hold a stain because of the way the dye is introduced into the fiber during the manufacturing process. |

Sometimes you just can't get the yellow out 100%. Sodium Perborate - this is a mild oxidizing bleach. You can purchase products with these ingredients blended into them or purchase them in their own form. |

Ted is absolutely right on the money, I would suggest Sodium Percarbonate. You would have to purchase this from a raw chemical supply house, find one in your area and ask for a sample they will give you about 2 pounds of it. That should last you 5 years as long as you keep it in a dry place. If you still never got that stain out send a message here with your e-mail and I will contact you and send you some of what I have by mail. jack from Montreal aka NIGHTRIDER |

| NightRider........I don't think that stuff is on the prohibited list of things you can send thru the mail. However, I highly suggest that you check with your local postmaster just to make sure. If it is prohibited and you mail it and get busted.....you can bet your balls that your gonna go pay a HUGE FINE and possibly go to jail. He should be able to get that stuff here in the States with no problem. Most any cleaning supply place will have it and if not, then he can certainly get it at the farm supply store. |

Urine stain removal is seldom an easy task. Urine contains many elements, including at least one dye. Bacterial work upon it and during the decomposition there is a transition from mild acid to strong alkali wich results in a 'scorching' effect that can lead to a permanent colour change. A felt backing can complicate things by providing a reservoir for the original deposit which can extend well beyond the area of visible staining. The dual problems of odour and dis-colourisation cannot always be resolved in a single visit and the several different approaches need to be tailored to the problem and the customers requirements. remember also that a minor odour problem can be exacerbated by any attempts at cleaning. In this particular instance I would suggest that you start with a heavy treatment with a product such as Prochem B153 Urine neutraliser. Do not simply dampen the pile - the product need to penetrate as deeply as the urine. Get your wellies on and use a 'grape pressing' action to work in the product - if it does not squelch, you have not applied enough. After a dwell period, if you do not have a water claw, use a hand tool to draw as much liquid from the backing as possible. Only when you have extracted all you can, start rinsing. At this stage you need to decide on alternate next stages. To tackle an odour problem a bio-enzymic approach makes sense - a live bacterial *ocktail such as Micro-Clean. But having used B153, which contains sterilisers, this cannot be applied until the carpet is completely dry at all levels - which could take a week. If odour is not a concern and you want to move strait to cosmetic improvement you could use citric acid. This really needs to be left on the carpet to dry in for best effect. Since citric acid will leave a sticky residue, a second visit will be required to rinse out. Another approach would be to use a reducing agent. The most popular of these is sodium metabisulphite. Before using this product ensure that any acid residue from the Urine neutraliser has been thoroughly rinsed off, otherwise the production of sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide gasses can reach a level where the room has to be abandoned. This product is rinsed out after an extended dwell. An alternate approach would be to uplift the carpet to enable treatment from the back and renewal of underlay if required but it sounds that you customer would not wish you to go to this extent. ------------- Paul Moss MBISCc |

Some urine stains just will not come out, but many will.
Bridgepoint makes a couple of good products
Un-duz-it for getting rid of the urine odor.
Urine Stain Remover for removing the stain.
Urine Rescue by Prochem is also good for removing urine stains.
Whatever you use, make sure that you follow the directions on the container and charge enough to make it worth your time & chemical cost.

Buy a gallon jug of 20% Hydrogen Peroxcide
Put it in a spray bottle full strength and wet down the yellow very well.
Come back next day and see your yellow either gone or mostly gone.
Wash hands if you get any on you. The stuff will turn your fingers white and give a burning sensation. It will soften up a cheap spray bottle and cause it to leak over a week or so. Use a commercial grade spray bottle from Lowes or Home Depot for example. ------------- I can remove more spots than you can. |
