There's even some on the carpet in my spare bedroom, a couple of the areas really glow majorly, with really distinct edges. The only room that has pretty much none is my bedroom which is funny because that's a room upstairs that all 5 of my cats have always spent a LOT of time in. Well I can't even begin to explain why I have so many spots all over the carpets of my home. I seemed to notice glowing on surfaces that I've used a cleaner on because you can see the streak marks from the rag, glowing.Ĭlick to expand.Yeah, I finally figured out that a lot of the tiny flecks ARE just lint LOL There's small flecks of glowing way up at the top of door jambs that's not a place any cat or spray could ever reach (not that any of my cats have ever sprayed). So basically this light is useless to me because if Bitsy was marking more than the 2 times she did, I'd have no idea which spot. I took the light and used it all over and I found glowing areas where no cat could even go.like on the lid of my washing machine for god's sake (stackable washer/dryer in closet).even random glowing splashes 5 feet up the wall where no cat could ever reach. sometimes the cleaner guy uses a spray stuff on the cat furball/hork areas.maybe this stuff leaves a residue and glows? I faithfully get my carpets steam cleaned every 6-8 months just to keep my very light carpets looking fresh and not worn down in the traffic areas. When I shone the light over this area - nothing glowed at all. Is it possible that a black light can pick up OTHER THINGS? Like areas I've previously cleaned up cat throw-up from furballs? (I usually use Spot Shot on these areas).įunny thing, I "thought" I could smell urine on an expensive non-washable shag rug in my living room, last night. Dozens and dozens and dozens of small areas illuminated, hundreds maybe! There is no way in the world that these are cat urine spots because if they were, my house would smell like the Cincinnati zoo and my non-animal loving family would have taken great pleasure in telling me a long time ago that my house stunk if anything, they've alwasy remarked how nice it smelled (mostly because I smoke but you wouldn't know it). Leave it on until it is completely dry.So I bought a black light tonight, called "Stink-Finder." I nearly had a small coronary after I turned off all the lights in my downstairs and proceed to walk around the living room carpet. Sprinkling baking soda liberally all over the entire area and letting it absorb all the moisture and smells can also help. You can find powdered enzyme cleaners if the item you're cleaning can't get wet.Enzyme cleaners are typically gentle compared to other cleaning products. You may also want to spray a little of the cleaner on an inconspicuous area to make sure it won’t damage the finish of whatever you’re cleaning. Be sure to read the directions on the product you’re using to make sure it's safe for the surface you need to clean.You can find enzymatic cleaners at pet supply or home improvement stores, or you can even make your own if you want to.Directions may vary, but typically these sprays don’t need to be wiped away. Saturate the area completely, remembering to apply the cleaner beyond the edges of the stain in case it spreads as it soaked in. There are a number of different cleaning products available on the market for use around the home, but to completely neutralize the urine, you’ll need an enzyme cleaner. Spray the area with an enzyme cleaner and let it sit for 20 minutes.
