    If I may share my story to help others outside of your service area. Not to bore you with details, but my issues was human urine saturating carpet from elderly having accidents. . I tried every 'pet urine' carpet cleaner, Oxy cleaner, etc, etc I could buy and no good, the smell would eventually come back. The suggestion of Cleaning Vinegar, I mixed 2 water to 1 vinegar and pour a few quarts in the carpeted area. I let it sit 30 minutes. I used my Rug Dr carpet cleaner on suction only and you can not believe the YELLOW water coming out of the carpet. And yes, it smells like pee. The urine got onto the carpet over 2 yrs ago! I just discovered Cleaning Vinegar for cleaning carpets. I have then gone over the carpet with a Pet Urine carpet cleaner. It has greatly reduced the odor of urine on the carpets. I will state that I have Berber carpet and I installed a waterproof padding below, figuring I'd have issues with the elderly I took care of.

      Thank you for sharing you story.
      The issue most people have with removing the urine odors and contamination is that they are not saturating the complete contaminated area. The enzyme or oxidizer MUST make direct contact and saturate the affected areas and be allow to dwell for enough time to complete its job-always followed by a generous flushing/rinse.
      Remember: The pad under the carpet and the sub-floor have to be treated as well.
      Keep up the great work!!!

    The story of my life. I've been carpet and rug cleaning since 2011. I have easily 1,000 urine jobs under my belt, perhaps 950 successful. Perhaps 100 turned down do to sub floor contamination too severe. Next week, I have a condo to clean. Did it two years ago with a water claw. First floor on concrete slab. All carpet and pad will be pulled. All concrete will be scrubbed with a buffer and stiff brush using an enzymatic cleaner. Once it dries, Kilz Max primer, maybe even two coats. I actually want to prime and paint the drywall before laying new carpet, because in this extreme case, the odor has penetrated the walls. The owner has used every magic potion they make. Dropped a good $250 on a home machine. I know the last time we cleaned, we water clawed every square inch, floated the carpet with blowers and ran a dehumidifier. We basically treated it as a Cat 2 water loss, though it was more like Cat 3 sewage backup.

      Hi Bailey
      Try following the directions on this video... ruclips.net/video/IqIGm_8_Y9k/видео.html
      Please remember to make sure the enzyme makes contact with all the urine deposits and then is thoroughly rinsed. Repeat if necessary.
      The description in the video has links for the products we recommend.
      3% hydrogen peroxide or Sally's 20 clear volume applied to all areas after the cleaning will help with the smell and staining.
      If you have many spots of urine it will take a lot of time to treat everything.
      Good luck!

      What good is a steam cleaner...meaning a Bissell like machine that sprays detergent and can wet vacuum up the urine???? For quick effective extraction in small areas they work, if you follow directions.
      Hoover smart wash is an extrqction machine: If you use it before the carpets get too soiled if should work fine. Follow the rules:
      1. don't use too much soap
      2. rinse thoroughly

      The concrete is very porous, it can hold the odors for a very long time.

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  3 года назад

      Hi
      At the very least you should get a powerful wet/dry shop vacuum.
      The plastic tools that come with the machine can be used to pull the detergents through the carpet and most of the padding. The more expensive tools like the stainless steel short wand and the "water claw" will make the work go much faster and be more thorough but simple hand tools will get the job done.
      The quicker you can get at the spot/stain the easier it will be to flush the area.

    Not sure if you are still checking messages from a video so long ago, but hoping. I have been struggling with a 7x15 section in my basement with cat urine. The other day I finally just decided to tear up all the affected padding and discard it leaving just the carpet and the concrete sub floor. I have done a few enzyme and odor treatments on what's left and still have a very strong smell. The urine marks are gone from the back of the carpet, so I believe the enzyme did its job, but cant get rid of the smell. Currently treating with Odoban Odor Cleaner.

      Hi
      I'll try to help
      Start with the concrete: wash it, let it dry then apply two coats of polyurathane to seal any odor in.
      The Carpet:
      Flood the effected areas with enzyme, allow to dwell several hours
      -Flush fresh water through all areas to remove enzyme
      -saturate with 3% peroxide allow to dwell until it drys on it own...DO NOT Speed dry the peroxide
      -repeat if necessary
      Stronger peroxides can be used but are risky

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  3 года назад +2

      Hi
      A consumer cleaning machine can't extract the water from deep down into the padding and carpet back.
      A relatively inexpensive shop vacuum might do it.
      Simply allowing the moisture to evaporate still leaves the enzymes in there.
      Thorough flushing will give the best results.
      Try the wet vacuum if you can.

      You need antibacterial chemicals, I normally use Lysol, Mr Clean, Oxydizers, about 1/20 part chemicals and 19/20 part Hot water. you need to douse the surface area and extract as much as possible. Let it dry and repeat process. Every time you douse let it sit for at least 20 minutes. Usually 3 times is enough. make sure dry carpet as fast as possible get a blower and make sure room is properly ventilated turn on all fans or air conditioners.

    Hi David, great video ! I used to work for Stanley Steamer back in the 80's as a helper for a an old pro who taught me a little about the business of cleaning carpets. We used at the time an enzyme product for pet unrine for spot cleaning, and if it was really bad, would go the day before, treat the area and let it sit over night to soak into the affected areas. It appears there's been some advances of home products since then, but I found that using hot steam with a truck mount cleaner with a REALLY strong vac was very effective, making other do it yourself methods look like a waste of time and money. Your cleaning equipment looks very impressive and you obviously know your stuff and take pride in your work ! Question: There's some new home steam cleaners that are popular, such as the Vapamore MR-100. You get the hot steam however there's no extraction. Do you have any comments of advice on these ?

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Jim-
      Steamers without extraction can't do much in the way of cleaning.

      Hi Austin
      If the contamination is that bad spraying a topical treatment probably won’t work.
      Remember, the enzymes have to make contact with the urine, allowed to dwell then completely flushed out.
      Peroxide can be used if a small residual odor remains.
      It sounds like you might want to consider hiring someone in your area who has the training and equipment to clean up the carpet.

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  6 лет назад +3

      Hi Rhiannon
      Most professional carpet cleaners offer a service referred to as "sub-surface extraction". This is a process where the detergents made to remove urine are soaked deep into the carpet, padding and sub floor and then flushed out using strong vacuum tools.
      Professionals with experience doing this should be able to remove the odor. The down side: It usually is much more expensive than a typical surface extraction of the carpeting.
      Note: If at any time you decide to replace the carpeting paint over any urine deposits on the wooden sub floor with polyurethane sealer-this helps the odor stay trapped in the wood.
      Good luck in your new home!!

      By "fake" do you mean indoor/outdoor green turf?
      The process is the same and the chemistry is the same.
      Saturating a glued down carpet on concrete with enzyme is very safe because there is no subfloor (plywood) to consider.
      Our "how to..." library will give you instructions and the chemistry is listed in the description area.

      If you don’t have a shop vac and can’t do any other extraction method try this:
      -blot up as much contamination as possible if wet then try applying several applications of 3% hydrogen peroxide (the stuff in the brown bottle)
      Make sure not to dry the peroxide quickly. When dry it stops working
      There are more aggressive peroxides but try the 3% first

      Hi
      I don't know of anyone who sells less than a gallon amount.
      As an alternative:
      If the area is very small, and recent clean with mild detergent (like Woolite), rinse thoroughly then use a peroxide.
      Peroxides include 3% (brown bottle in all stores)

    What if there was no wetness at all, it was mostly on something else? It was a very very slight pee smell that you have to get close enough to smell, is it still harmful and will it go through carpet? I think it was majority on towels, however I will still clean that general area with pet spot cleaner.

    I have a carpet that has a few stains of dog urine. I have put so many things on them and I have washed them so many times and they do go away, but once the carpet is dry and we start walking over them they appear again! I know they are trapping dirt etc... any tips? please help

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  5 лет назад +1

      Hi Thanks for the question.
      What you are describing is what we call "wicking"...meaning soap & urine residue have not been fully flushed out of the carpet and carpet cushion resulting in a sticky substance that attracts soil and shows as a dirty spot in a few days following the cleaning.
      The only real solution is to thoroughly pull all residues from the cushion and carpet backing using a powerful vacuum or to pull back the carpet and hand clean all areas from underneath.
      If you try to do it from the top make sure to apply plenty of rinse water (1:1 ratio water/white vinegar) getting the backing wet and immediately use a wet vacuum machine to pull up as much as possible. This will take time because you will probably have to do it several times but it is worth the extra effort.
      Good Luck

    • @DavidMavilio

      Hi
      A shampoo machine doesn’t actually extract the soap residue with a flushing action sufficient enough to do a thorough job.

      By Steam vacuum i think you mean hot water extraction. The water claw devise that I'm using in this video is connected to an extraction machine, also know as a steam cleaner.
      For regular carpet cleaning or a small pet accident a normal cleaning tool is ok. Larger spills or accidents will require a water claw for what we call sub surface extraction.

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  2 года назад

      Depends on the product. We use enzymes.
      Oxidizers are like a peroxide, which destroys odors and usually takes care of the staining too.
      For in depth understanding of the chemistry read the Material Data Sheets and contact the manufacturer.

      Oxiclean is an oxidizer.
      The enzyme we use is CTI - Pro's Choice - Urine Pre Treatment

      Enzymes are generally safer to use than aggressive oxidizers but both have their place for odor and stain removal.

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  2 года назад +2

      Hi
      Reasons for unsuccessful urine cleaning are
      Using a detergent/enzyme that doesn’t work
      Not making full contact with the enzyme to every bit of urine
      Not allowing the detergent to dwell long enough to work
      Not rinsing thoroughly, ie flushing all detergents and residual waste completely out of the carpet
      If you have treatment a whole room and the odor keeps getting worse it probably an indicator that you have pushed the urine deep into the pad and subfloor
      I would hire a pro to flush everything out and in the future get spots up quick and flush thoroughly
      Good luck

    Can you explain what the enzyme is ? Would that be vinegar? I’m not near you or would hire you can’t find anyone near me. So first flush with enzyme? Then rinse? Then? Can you recall products to use ? Thx.

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  5 лет назад +3

      Generally the process is:
      -Apply detergent/enzyme
      -allow sufficient dwell time-rub/agitate if necessary to help break up the urine salts
      -Rinse with vinegar
      -repeat as necessary
      Vinegar is an acid rinse which helps remove detergents and soils that have been loosened. White vinegar leaves the carpet in an acid state which is especially important when dealing with natural fibers (wool, cotton, viscose-aka rayon). It's is acceptable to use the vinegar as a detergent as well as a rinse but treating urine with an enzyme first is best.
      Remember: If you use an enzyme for urine-especially older urine spots- make sure to thoroughly rinse it all out.
      If you do not have the equipment to rinse the detergents my advice is to start with a white vinegar wash & rinse only and see if that is sufficient.
      Good Luck!

      If a whole is involved you must consider replacement-it usually is to expensive to constantly treating all the areas.
      Another option is to remove the wall to wall carpeting and use a lose laid synthetic area rug which can be removed for a thorough cleaning. Also, indoor/outdoor carpet is inexpensive and can be safely hosed off outdoors when necessary...its not very comfortable though...Best of luck

    I have a small rental and the renter just moved out. She wrecked the carpet with cigarette burns and dog urine. The carpet is going and I may be able to save the pad. My question is should I put a sheet of plastic over the pad before the new carpet goes down. Pets are not allowed but that rule is overlooked by tenets! LOL

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  5 лет назад +1

      Hi
      First thing: Check and make sure the pad is free of urine. Pad is relatively inexpensive and we usually advise replacement-padding is not worth cleaning.
      Either way placing a thin layer of plastic over the pad can make cleaning of the carpet easier. Some manufacturers created a pad with plastic on top for just this reason.
      Note: If the area with plastic on the pad ever floods the water can get trapped between the pad and plastic and never dry leading to microbial growth...very bad :(

      Those machines you can rent from stores that specialize in janitorial equipment. Usually will cost you about 40-50 dollars a day depending on the store. The chemicals are dirt cheap 5-10 dollars at most. you also need some blowers or strong fans. If you have carpet it would make sense to invest in carpet cleaning equipment. Don't pay professional cleaners to do it for you much cheaper do it yourself. Machines can be found slightly used in these same stores a base model with small tank usually runs around 300 dollars. If you want commercial or industrial machines those run 1-2k and up.

      Hi
      Most of our customers and many who contact us online have most of the items required for spot cleaning on carpets and rugs. In fact as far detergents go, most people have too many different chemicals in the home.
      Check out this video ruclips.net/video/jCQ7vtn2qw8/видео.html
      It's a recent upload that doesn't require much more than a wet vacuum and 2 different solutions.

    treating padding? just remove it and replace it with new padding if you are going to disengage the carpet from the tackless to get to the subfloor

    Is there any DIY method to get the dog urine out and save the floor?

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  3 года назад +2

      Hi
      If by floor you mean the plywood sub floor or an oak hardwood floor you can pull back all carpet & pad then:
      -thoroughly clean the floor with water and a deodorizer.
      -allow to dry
      -apply polyurathane-we like two coats
      -after drying replace carpet & pad
      The poly will seal in any odors from the urine.
      If the urine left a black mark you can try peroxide to lighten it then the poly.
      Good luck

      @@DavidMavilio Thanks for your response. The carpet is actually tacked down and the accident (older dog in decline) is in the middle. I don't have one of those heavy devices ,but do have a spot shampooer made for dog accidents. I dread to think of what my floor is going to look like the day the carpet has to come out.!

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  3 года назад +3

      I understand....
      Tip: if you use the spot shampoo machine try putting this product:
      Prochem all fiber rinse amzn.to/2wCno0A into the machine as a rinse instead of the soap that comes with the machine.
      Use CTI - Pro's Choice - Urine Pre Treatment amzn.to/2T05zjp first-apply with a sprayer.
      Both are diluted according to directions on bottle.
      We have a How To library of videos on how to use these and other products.

    If we do white vinegar for pet stains. What portions of water and vinegar should we use? We’ve been using nature’s miracle, but it doesn’t seem to help.
    Or do you recommend we keep using that and just really soak the stain and then try to soak it all up?

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  5 лет назад

      Hi
      The white vinegar is used to rinse the area after the urine detergent has been applied and allowed to dwell for at least 10-20 minutes.
      Rinse with equal parts of warm water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio)
      Repeat the enzyme detergent and rinse if the odor persists.
      The enzyme we use most often is:
      www.amazon.com/CTI-Choice-Urine-Treatment-Gallon/dp/B00OPAQ1T0/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=pros+choice+urine+pre+treatment&qid=1579006083&s=home-garden&sr=1-1
      There are other companies that sell this product as well.
      Good Luck!!

    • @2011turnitup
      @2011turnitup 5 лет назад

      And we just pour the enzyme detergent and not scrub correct? Same with vinegar solution.

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  5 лет назад

      Pour the enzyme so the areas that are contaminated get saturated. Use a wet vacuum to pull residual up after dwell time the repeat same process with white vinegar solution.
      This is assuming there is deep penetration of urine. If the urine is only sitting on the top apply enzyme and white vinegar with a spray bottle.

    Thank you for answering all the comments. Very honest . My rug looks great but it has a sweat smell. I cleaned it 4 times . I may have wet it to much . Never thought of the backing and underfloor would become so wet . I’m going to try again with a different method and if no better I will replace . I live in northern Alberta and very expensive to have anything done here . They charge 150.00 an hour for anything . Just to look is 150.00 before starting any job. Sealing the subfloor is a great idea. I have no animals but the previous owner did . 2 Shepard’s and stained one end of the house . Funny when I inspected the home no oder . Now it’s driving me crazy .

    • @DavidMavilio
      @DavidMavilio  6 лет назад

      The sweet smell may be from the perfumes that detergent manufacturers put in their product.
      Rinsing is very important.
