Hi All,

Sometimes ya just gotta combine a fragrance with pet odor removal especially when there is a lot of pee and customer is unwilling to replace carpet or spend big bucks on carpet removal, pad replacement, floor treatment, etc. etc..

We've been using Hydrocide and Hydrocide Extreme but want to try something different. (Of course we use OSR and a claw but it is only so effective.)

Any suggestions? We prefer a natural scent if possible.

Some companies offer a variety of scents in small bottles that you can add to your deodorizer. You should try those, it will also impress your clients with your scent library and by giving them the choice.

You could also use whatever product you like that leaves a faint scent or preferrably no scent (that hopefully will do the deodorizing work. Not the masking) and add a scent on top. So, for example, you could mist a little Benefect (little, as it is quite strong) after the cleaning/deodorizing. It is made of thyme oil, so the scent is natural.

You can also add your odor product to the osr, that way it gets down below.

I use chemspec odor kill.

There is a possibility Steve, that you may be going at it the wrong way.

In those 'oh so difficult' to correct situations, a little gentle spritz of your deodorizer of choice in the occupants nose, will go a long way to remedy the problem :winky:

Are we talking about a more pleasant fragrance after the job? If so, we use CTi's X-Cide. I hear the new Odorcide fragrances are more tolerable than the original, perhaps consider that direction. We originally switched from Odorcide because the odor simply was not tolerable to the Customer. Sure, it was more pleasant than the cat odor, but not by much! Hydrocide fit the bill perfectly! Then we switched to X-Cide probably for the same reason you mentioned. The question is, are YOU tired of the fragrance, or is the CUSTOMER? We had to ask ourselves the same question when we considered changing! :-)

I use a strong dose of peroxide to flush it out . It's odor free and destroy the urine along with the color. I've gotten were I can't take any smells.

Flip over a area rug sometime. Look at the urine that is now absorbed in the latex glue. No fooooooken way are you going to get out all the piss out of a wall to wall carpet that has been hammered by a dog or cat. Now here comes Scott Warrington, Olson, Cobb and all the other chem salesman oh don't forget Forsythe who is going to sell you some magical chem that can get piss out of latex . Not happening. I still buy the crap. Its a band aid if that.

There are 4 types of pet urine situations.

1. Customer is too cheap to pay to treat and elects to "deodorize"

2. Customer wants to pay, but the dog or cat is still alive(wasting your time and money).

3. Customer wants to pay, but the carpet is so contaminated or damaged on the yarn that it will be cheaper and better to replace.

4. Dog and cat are dead or evicted, there is urine odor with stains that are removable, and it isn't wall to wall so treatment will likely be around 40% of replacement.

#4 is where cleaning professionals can make serious money. Finding that job isn't all that hard, but just make sure you don't try and tackle a carpet that falls into the replacement category.

We love pet urine(its a love/hate relationship) and I love carpet cleaners who say it cant be taken care of. Thats where we swoop in and steal that customer forever!

Waldo;

I definitely did not say that our pet odor products will remove all urine residue from the backing !

But this is what you need to understand ;

Our DC Odor Attack works by breaking down the urine residue into components that have no odor.

(1) Strong oxidizer to change urine residue into odorless compounds.

(2) Actual enzyme which also changes urine residue into odorless compounds.

Used with a powerful UV light and Spotting Claw . . .

it will do a very creditable job of eliminating odors from pets.

We apply fragrance after extracting the odor removal treatment (Dynachem Odor Solv)

As Sam mentioned, sometimes you do your best within the economic limitations.

Just used Microban Plus disinfectant deodorizer on my own carpets after a dog mess. It seems to have worked very well. It did have a disinfectant smell until dry. Kinda pricey but good.

I just ordered a case of a product called at last by master blend. It is supposed to be a liquid form oxidizer like osr but able to run through the inline sprayer. I will let you know how I like it in at the end of the week when we clean a daycare that smells like piss. For all other stuff I like proliminator from chemeisters. It has a super lemon smell that you can either post spray or mix with your pre spray or cleaning solution and that stuff last a few days if you put it on heavy.
