Urine smell
« on: April 15, 2010, 04:11:43 pm »
Went into house today the smell of urine was overpowering, i dont think the elderly lady could smell it she just said it needs a clean. :-[
 Of course i will clean the whole carpet thoroughly but i thought it would be better if i could locate the exact area of soiling thats causing the smell, i do remeber seeing a thread on here about UV lamps and dog urine can this be used for this as well, or did i just imagine the thread ???

the "exact area" may be all of it Jim   :o

I believe uv light will show where urine is - never tried it, normally use the doggy method and get on all fours and trace the smell that way. Happy sniffing.

UV light will show up the urine, I've got one albeit not a good one but the only problem is it has to be really dark in the room to show up clearly.
Works great in the bathroom at home at night when I can show the kids their aim isn't so good ;D

But during the day at a customers not so practical.

As Joe said "doggy method" Done it a few times myself.
