Has anyone had success "seeing" pee on beige-colored Berber-style carpet with this light?

I don't have berber style. However my carpet is beige. And yes you can see perfect!

Yes, though the carpet is closer to ivory. We have ivory Berber carpet in one room, and this light helped me find where the smell was coming from--a glowing area in the carpet behind a chair! I had to dim the lights a bit to see it clearly, but then it was easy to see. The only place it doesn't seem to always work is on some slightly reflective fabrics or on very absorbant fabrics (guess it soaks in too deeply).

I have beige colored Berber carpet and this flashlight is useless. I had a fresh wet puddle of dog pee and the flashlight showed nothing. Don't buy it.

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.

As on any spot, make sure to pretreat with one of Nature's Miracle for cat urine. Then cleaning area with a spray bottle mixture of hot water and shampoo as a temporary fix does work, but make sure to blot the area quite well removing as of as much dampness as possible. But truthfully the action of a rug cleaner is best and there are several "Spot cleaners" on the market that are affordable and work quite nicely. Spray bottles and a sponge just can't get as deep as the urine already had. Using a product to break down the urine is as important as this shampoo, they work hand and hand. But how well you use the shampoo makes all the difference. Again as a quick fix use by hand, but a machine is best.

You're right. I had to figure out what to look for because some fuzz and other debris can show up under the light. However, once I saw the first spot of urine, I knew what to look for from then on. You should point the light directly over the carpet and look for spots that resemble a water spill. Those are usually urine. Also look for areas on the wall near the floor that look like someone sprayed a water bottle. Once you find the first one, you'll recognize it from then on.

It might work - Nature's Miracle is an enzyme that destroys cat urine - since your stain has dried, you will have to soak the carpet, padding and anything else that may have urine in it - you may have to soak it, let it sit a day or two (maybe cover with plastic) and then soak again and again. Certainly worth a try. PS. From my experience, Nature's Miracle doesn't spot - I've used it on furniture and rugs. Good Luck!!

It will work anywhere there is surface-level urine. You can usually still find spots after cleaning, you just have to look a lot harder and get the light closer to the carpet. Sometimes though, if you have thick padding under the carpet, the surface of the carpet can be perfectly clean but the padding can still release odor. Lights wouldn't help in this instance.

I would suspect it wouldn't work very well as one of the triggers is ambient light. If the room in general is bright and/or warm enough it wouldn't turn on. It's inexpensive enough to experiment though and you can always put it in your closet to find your shoes...

Yes, I used it on off-white carpet and light beige carpet without incident.

Yes, You can see pet stains better with this than with some of the more expensive lights. There's a very good spread of light and the color really makes pet stains stand out.

I haven't tried that but it sounds like a good idea. It's been awhile since I've needed the product but as I recall, step one is to soak up and remove as much urine as possible, then use the Urine Off to neutralize and leavings. So, if you're carpet isn't drenched already, that might be a good idea. I do know that if you have an area rug, oriental carpet for example, you want to roll it up and clean the hard floor underneath and then clean the carpet.

It's pretty clear that if you point the black light at the carpet and there is a spot that glow, you have urine.

I've only tried on carpet stains of unknown origin. The darker stains, which could be red wine, were lightened and spread out...really not acceptable results.

Yes, I have it in a carpeted bedroom and it works very well. I am impressed with this panel!

Personally, I haven't. I don't practice iridology but I suppose it could be used as long as the lights don't bother someone's eyes.

I purchased this light for a closet and placed it on the closet door. It illuminates the interior of the adjacent closet space well enough to be able to identify the clothing by style and color but I would not try to read by it.

Yes, it will be very prevalent where the stain is. Works best in low/no light environments. Stain will show even after cleaned if in fibers of carpet but will be duller in brightness level.

No, there isn't. We have used it on Carpets without any issues. Of course you will want to test it on a corner for color safeness in your own house.
