Hey all..quick question. I work in a long term care facility and have a residents room that is a major restoration project. I have totally saturated the carpet with an enzymated pre spray (Deodorized) and covered with plastic for 8 hrs. I have removed the plastic to air dry and let the digesters do their thing. My question is, do I pre spray the carpet again with the deodorizer, or do I use a regular prespray as there is a fairly dark stain where the urine was saturated over a period of time. I used a black light first, and removed all the urine except for the stain that has remained. Any help that anyone can offer is greatly appreciated. If this forum can't help me...no one can!!! ------------- just swimmin in circles |

Very hard to totally remove the stain on one sitting. I would use the water claw even on carpet tile and flush and flush.
I would post pad with one of these nano micelles that are being sold as Enviro. Usually takes care of the remnants. |

I service 24 assisted living facilities and find Encapsulation with Cimex and Realisit DS works well if you don't have a cimex try pad on low pile commercial
carpet which is what I find alot of in these facilties. If it is a padded carpet You'll find the pad is saturated water claw first air mover dry then encap to prevent wicking |

Being that it's urine, I recommend standing. |

But if it's commercial carpet with no backing, a Claw won't help. |

Thanks for all your help ppl. This forum rocks!!! The carpet is Powerbond so I don't think the claw would work...Employers too cheap to buy one anyways. And, yes, I clean it all here urine, crap, puke, spit up chaw,blood etc..Yep carpet in a long term care facility was the right fawkin move..its even in our dining rooms. I do not have a Cimex but I do bonnet with an encap product from Scotlabs... would this help?? ------------- just swimmin in circles |

| It might I have tried several but found ReleasitDs the best so far, remember when cleaning stains little moisture is better to prvent wicking with encap you should be using about 1 gallon to 300 SF less on heavy staining |

This is a joke right??? Right??? Everything we use here is Green Seal..that may not mean a whole lot but it's the best we can do with "sick old people" not able to just up and go while I'm working in their units. ------------- just swimmin in circles |

Thanks for the website Jeff..will definately check it out... My carpet came out great..thanks all...CMaster, I used only hot water as you suggested and did a good job. The stain did not all come out but I later learned that the resident was on pretty potent meds that turned urine almost to an iodine type state. ------------- just swimmin in circles |

You can try an HP product like Esteam Vanish or CTI Urine Stain Remover to remove the remaining stain. Both of these products leave minimal residue -------------
