Odour kill plus at 15 to one encap and fibre plus pad

How is this room so different from any other room we would clean that you would ask advice what to use to clean it :-\ :-\

Mike
I take it you don’t do many sheltered or special needs flats ;) ;D
-
How are they different from the OAPs I did last week or the week before?
It's a dirty carpet where it's situated is irrelevant...... or do you get 'special' dirt in rest homes?

Care homes do present special problems. We deal with them all the time. In a care home you may have a resident urinating in the same place night after night. You are not going to come across that scenario in your average living room.
We have had care homes who have been ripping up carpets due to not being able to deal with the odour problems. We advise them to employ the services of a pro carpet cleaner but most ofvthem sayvthey dont have the funds. They are using Rug Doctors and little trigger sprays with urine treatment in them.
I explain to them that if a resident has deposited 300ml of urine onto a carpet and floor, spraying 50ml of product and extracting with a Rug Doctor isnt going to achieve anything.
The 2 best products I have come across for urine are Chemspec Urine Contamination Treatment and Craftex Pre Enzyme Solution. You need to saturate the area allow to dwellmthen extract.

John read Bobs first post
I'll give you a clue, it's in brackets at the end :D :D
Forgetting urine all you'll get is drink and food spills from where they are unsteady

Silly sod, him and me but I have an excuse, beer.

Hi Mike the rooms i clean at a rest home are generally pretty clean with very few having been urinated on , the reason i asked was just to get some idea of what other people are using i generally use powerburst and heat wave and sometimes mist with urine contamination treatment, in a lot of cases they just need freshening up would just like to try something different that smells clean but not to overpowering
-
Bob In those circumstances I would bonnet clean them with pureclean and A drop of craftex clean cotton or tea tree oil
-
What about Neutra-soft? It's been made specifically for rest homes. Combines extraction cleaner, urine neutraliser, deodoriser and rinse agent
-
Oh yer Mike thanks for reminding me about Craftex cotton fresh i love the smell of that and so do my customers, this will be my weapon of choice until i get bored again ;D
