hi tea is just use a browning sulution but it can be hard if the stain is old   leave along dwell time. dog wee is all most inpossable it containes amonia which bleaches the carpet when you work on the stain you may find it will turn lighter its called blarching i beleave

HI Guys
Dog Hairs simply mist the carpet with water bery fine then use a pile brush or a window squeegy on a pole and rake the carpet and the dog hairs will roll into a strip and you can lift them off easily.

Best regards Nick

Hi

Just done a carpet (white!) covered in dog urine.

I qualified with the customer before hand that they were probably permanant... they were, not a prayer of getting them out, the acid in the urine seems to react with the carpet and it goes a light brown colour and there it will stay. You could try an oxy product but whatever you do make sure you qualify with the customer 1st, in writing if need be.

Good luck

Martin,

Just for the record and to dispell a common misconception:

Most of the uric acid found in blood is converted to urea within the liver.

Mamalian urine, when first expelled from the body may be mildly acidic but bacterial decomposition takes nitrogen from the atmosphere and forms ammonia (alkaline) which quickly evaporates, leaving a highly alkaline residue of anhydrous uric salts.

The ammonia has some bleaching action but it is the scorching effect of the alkaline salts that does the major damage.

John, Where on earth do you get/keep all these pearls of wisdom? I have difficulty remembering which end to connect the wand to!

Wether it is acid, alkaline, dye, salts, bleach, reaction, there is a wednesday in the week, or jesus lives! the fact remains that urine does damage the carpet as in most cases will be permanant.


phew!

Dave,

You use a wand  ??? I thought you squeezed water from a washing-up liquid bottle and scrubbed it in  ;D

BTW from your picture you seem to have lost a little weight lately  ;D

Regards,

John.

Yes John I do use a wand. I use it to scrub the washing_up Liquid in and then use a wand with a sqeegee attached to squeeze the water out. I reccon the quicker it resoils the sooner they will have me back to clean it.
