After cleaning my carpets, I still see the urine stain with a black light but they are much more faint. Is this normal?

We saw the same result. After treating the area the urine stain was less visible under the black light.

It's very important to apply the cleaner (such as Natures Miracle brand enzyme cleaner) and LET IT SET! The enzyme action is a process, and that process takes time. Drench the stain, I mean POUR IT ON; let set overnight (the longer the better but probably better not to let it dry up). Then do your scrubbing (Quik n Brite works great) or your steam cleaning, or direct your Rug Cleaning Pros to the area... You won't see or hear from that stain again, nor will kitty find the spot to re-offend.

I had dog urine stains on the edge of couches which were visible only under black light. I used a specialized cleaner to clean them, which got rid of the odour, however I also still see the stains under black light. Don't know if this information helps....

I had the exact same problem - but then I discovered that when I applied my steamer directly on the Nature's Miracle after it had set for a few minutes, it practically disappears. I already had the steamer, but I would definitely recommend getting one - even a small hand-held one - if cleaning urine stains is going to be an ongoing issue.

Use the Amazing solutions urine eliminator either by pouring on the area and letting it sit, or by spraying walls and carpets. It's recommended that you use a black light to find the areas soiled and then spray or pour on. Depending on how strong the odor the more you want to apply it.

Yes, I have noticed the odor to be stronger while I am cleaning the carpet and that it goes away shortly after. That made me think that the urine is possibly so saturated into the carpet/backing/padding that I takes more than one shot to take care of it. I try to run my carpet cleaner over the area with a 50% vinegar 50% H2O a day or so after I cleaned with the Nature's Miracle. I think this helps since my 4 legged friends don't seem to "re-use" the areas that I have done that process with. My husband likes to do things really fast, so doesn't spend as much time going over the spots to suck up the solution. They always go back to the spots that he cleaned.

No - you need a uv-c light - this will let you see urine stains & such - also some minerals but will not sanitize - mk

The spongey part is what soaks up the urine. It is only positive if a you see a faint or dark purple line parallel & close to the control line. I wish I could attach photos of my positive tests to show you what a positive test looks like. It sounds like you have a negative test. When you get a positive one you'll know. Continue to test until you see a distinct line or you get your period. I was testing once a day (first urination of the day is always best) for a good 5 days before I saw a line. If you are tired & have tender breasts then definitely keep testing. When in doubt buy a digital test. The spongey part is what soaks up the urine.

I have light beige carpet. I was able to highlight dark areas in the carpet. Whether they were actually pee or not, I could not tell you.

If you soak the area good and wait until it has had about 24 hours to dry it should have used the enzymes in the product to destroy the urea crystals. Then you can use an oxygen based detergent to clean it thoroughly and hopefully it will be fine. Being able to completely access the stain is key but it worked on my carpet very well.

Yes. It's really interesting to see what glows in your home at night. We found lots of areas where there were pet urine and spills from household cleaners that do not show during the day.

I have used it after trying other products, and after using urine no longer showed up under blacklight, make sure to really soak it don't just do a light spray.

The urine stains (and other stains) are better seen when they are dried. This is when it starts forming the fluorescence crystals that make it show up. If the urine or stain is still wet, the crystals that will fluoresce under this wavelength will not show up as the the neonish yellow/green or brighter white (the colour depends on the stain / fluid type as well as how long it has set).

I have made sure the room for mine is dark and the urine stains (and other stains) are dried. This is when it starts forming the fluorescence crystals that make it show up. If the urine or stain is still wet, the crystals that will fluoresce under this wavelength will not show up as the the neonish yellow/green or brighter white (colour depends on the stain / fluid type as well as how long it has set).

When I look for pet stains it usually shows up as a bright white or slightly yellow. My carpet is marbled with cream/tan/brown. Not every spot you see will be from the pet. Lint, small pieces of paper or a toddler may be the culprit. Use your new powers wisely. :)

well I had multiple tests and if you see even a faint line it's supposed to mean you fall below the threshold but as time progresses you will see the line get dark and instead of "thinking" you see something, you definately will see a dark bolder line. Be warned though it will never be the same depth of color as the other line. Even someone clean for years still has a dark control and a lighter negative line. I just took it as getting close but no dice and gave it a few more days and got the easy to see clean line.

I had the same problem. Can barely see even old/major stains with the Pedar, while many of them show up reasonably when using the inexpensive florescent light.

The product doesn't smell great, but I would never equate to urine. So perhaps you have a bad batch. Also the smell never lingers after rinsing with the normal batch.

Save yourself some money. Black stains are usually mildew and/or mold. Easy to take care of inexpensively. Mix a little dish soap with hot water and scrub the stain with a stiff brush. Rinse it well. Mix chlorine bleach (Clorox) 4:1 with hot water and pour on. Scrub with a stiff brush and rinse well. A fan will help in drying the floor fast after.
