Whats your go to product for removing yellowing urine stains from 80/20 twist carpet, does it ever go? Ive tried a nos and yet to find a produst that does the trick. Odour no problem, its the discolouration... Any suggestions? Simon

I have never had any success on yellowed urine on wool.I have tried urine removal products but to no avail.
I was told by an eminent trainer that there is no magical result for this and that these are permenant.
I have read on CT that MPower is the holy grail for this but have personally never found this to be so.
I always tell my customers about the limitations on these stains.Hope someone can shed more light on this problem on this thread

if its creme coloured carpet iv hidden a few small doggy stains like this ... oxidize it with something strong ... i use hair bleach because its the strongest thing i found ( my new HH workpants are ruined already ) extract , dry with hairdryer .... the whiter stain if your lucky will look better that the orange one , but chances are u ended up with a white or light yellow patch .
( found this trick from a guy on TMF )
Put some very dilute black wool dye on a spray bottle , ( its so dilute it will be a transparent grey colour ) mist the bleached area with the dye , extract as u go and repeat till the mark sort of blends , somehow the grey mist visually blends with the carpet . It might not be a perfect match up close but it often hides the stain at standing height .
Bit of trial and error involved in the above .

That’s a great tip John, so by bleaching the affected area you lighten the yellowing but the dark pigment takes the sharpness or edge away I bet that’s a bit hit and miss but better than a total miss.

Yeah , thats about it , works great on little tan stains , small pet stains or pre existing bleach spots .
I always have small spray bottle of it ready to hit anything that needs it , il do a before /after pic sometime .
i just use an empty kitchen spray bottle , just get a small jar of black Jacquard wool Dye from ebay , mix a tiny bit with hot water and add a dash of vinager / citric acid or whatever u got to make the dilution a bit acidic , once mixed you can use it for weeks after .
If its something like a tan spot its good to bleach it as white as possible first .
