I am having better luck with this one than others, and the smell is fresh and the stains are gone. But does not pass black light test, will it ever?

not sure any will but I did notice my dogs don't go on carpet for a while where I used it, in my steam cleaner

No, I don't think it will. I spoke to a company representative, and was told that after treatment the odor would be removed, but the stain might still be seen with a black light. I don't know how it can be removed, but I was concerned with odor, and it is gone!

Linda I personally don't take our black Lab out when we run the Ozone. I only run it for about 15min. As far as any harm to our furniture no way. Maybe if you ran it for hours on end maybe? I ran it one time for couple hours with out our lab and had no problems. I hope this help. It really does make our home smell fresh . Rob

Am not sure. My FIRST unit quit working w/i first year. I thought it was the black light, so I bought their replacement bulb. Unit still didn't work. I bought my SECOND unit....same outcome. I called the company and after paying only for shipping, I returned BOTH units for replacements. Replacement units....same outcome. Great concept, but a flaw somewhere. I wouldn't want to replace the black light with a regular one, that is what makes this unit so desirable to me.

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....

It does clean very well, may need some elbow grease if its gotten too bad. It stays clear until you get smoking in your wood stove, which will start to darken it again. Looks fine if you give it a quick clean before lighting the stove. It's all I'll use, and I've tried almost everything.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

I've never had the light go off. I change my bags often because of the smell when you run the vacuum if you don't. I also pour essential oils on a tissue and stick it in the bag before I run it to help kill germs and bad odors so I don't need to change as often, plus the aromatherapy is great. I don't have a filthy house, but for some reason the dirt just smells through the bag and vacuum. I had a kirby for 20 yrs and never had this problem, even with keeping the same bag for 6 mos. I change the bags in my Sebo every 2-3 months, and I hardly use the machine since it is my secondary vacuum. The essential oils definitely help.

I spilled some yogurt on it and I found that blotting (very light pressure) with a damp cloth cloth worked well and then once I got every thing up I pressed much harder to get the excess water out. it worked well. as for keeping it as black as the day you got it... well... I'm open to sugggestions. HTH.

I haven't tried the black light, on A/C Airconditioning? leaks, or blood. I know it works great on cat's urine, it shows up super easy, I just completed a tour of the house, to find cat's urine. I use hydrogen peroxide (3%) only and lemon juice to put on the stain, and then put a generous layer of bi-carbonate of soda on the top, result is: no smell.

I have only used this product to remove odor and light stains. But if I use my black light I can still see the traces of the puppies misbehavior even tho not seen with the naked eye. Hope this info is of some use to you.

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.

it seems to me, the one time I tried, it will go without light. I do keep it with just a dim light.

I will be very honest with you, this unit I got, the UV light shorted out or burned out. But they replaced the whole unit for me. However, I did not get the same one with the UV in it. So I have never replaced the bulb! I had no problems with the company & recieving my replacement filter. I don't know if this helped you or not.

I have never had that issue before, but this works very well with dog urine odor. You might want to mix it a little stronger or perhaps use full strength. the people with the company are pretty helpful, they might have more info. But this is pretty effective, with Eco 88 one of the two best I have used. And I have quite a bit of experience with cleaning up accidents. It even works on my hard wood(unsealed) floorGood luck, you might need to make sure that you get it in the crevices too.

It probably depends on how dirty your air is. I've had my unit for 9 months and the light just came on to replace the odor filter. The main filter replacement light has not come on yet.

Were you using a little bleach to clean it? If so and the oders remain, then in a cup, try using a little baking soda and viniger, swish it around in it, you can let it soak if needed, then rince it well, if the smells stry in it after that, then my guess is its defective and I'd try sending it back for a replacement.

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.
