If I may share my story to help others outside of your service area. Not to bore you with details, but my issues was human urine saturating carpet from elderly having accidents. . I tried every 'pet urine' carpet cleaner, Oxy cleaner, etc, etc I could buy and no good, the smell would eventually come back. The suggestion of Cleaning Vinegar, I mixed 2 water to 1 vinegar and pour a few quarts in the carpeted area. I let it sit 30 minutes. I used my Rug Dr carpet cleaner on suction only and you can not believe the YELLOW water coming out of the carpet. And yes, it smells like pee. The urine got onto the carpet over 2 yrs ago! I just discovered Cleaning Vinegar for cleaning carpets. I have then gone over the carpet with a Pet Urine carpet cleaner. It has greatly reduced the odor of urine on the carpets. I will state that I have Berber carpet and I installed a waterproof padding below, figuring I'd have issues with the elderly I took care of.

Hi David, great video ! I used to work for Stanley Steamer back in the 80's as a helper for a an old pro who taught me a little about the business of cleaning carpets. We used at the time an enzyme product for pet unrine for spot cleaning, and if it was really bad, would go the day before, treat the area and let it sit over night to soak into the affected areas. It appears there's been some advances of home products since then, but I found that using hot steam with a truck mount cleaner with a REALLY strong vac was very effective, making other do it yourself methods look like a waste of time and money. Your cleaning equipment looks very impressive and you obviously know your stuff and take pride in your work ! Question: There's some new home steam cleaners that are popular, such as the Vapamore MR-100. You get the hot steam however there's no extraction. Do you have any comments of advice on these ?

The story of my life. I've been carpet and rug cleaning since 2011. I have easily 1,000 urine jobs under my belt, perhaps 950 successful. Perhaps 100 turned down do to sub floor contamination too severe. Next week, I have a condo to clean. Did it two years ago with a water claw. First floor on concrete slab. All carpet and pad will be pulled. All concrete will be scrubbed with a buffer and stiff brush using an enzymatic cleaner. Once it dries, Kilz Max primer, maybe even two coats. I actually want to prime and paint the drywall before laying new carpet, because in this extreme case, the odor has penetrated the walls. The owner has used every magic potion they make. Dropped a good $250 on a home machine. I know the last time we cleaned, we water clawed every square inch, floated the carpet with blowers and ran a dehumidifier. We basically treated it as a Cat 2 water loss, though it was more like Cat 3 sewage backup.

Can't I use the same solution method of soaking the spot for 15-20 minutes, and use a shampooer? That's kinda what I got out of it, but thanks for explaining something that never crossed my mind, so the video was well informative. You learn something new everyday.

Thank you for answering all the comments. Very honest . My rug looks great but it has a sweat smell. I cleaned it 4 times . I may have wet it to much . Never thought of the backing and underfloor would become so wet . I’m going to try again with a different method and if no better I will replace . I live in northern Alberta and very expensive to have anything done here . They charge 150.00 an hour for anything . Just to look is 150.00 before starting any job. Sealing the subfloor is a great idea. I have no animals but the previous owner did . 2 Shepard’s and stained one end of the house . Funny when I inspected the home no oder . Now it’s driving me crazy .

Really wondering about the vacuum extractor attachment. I am too far away from Boston. Where can I acquire one of those?

So will a carpet cleaner work in place of a wet/dry vac? I have the bissel pro heat.

will the sally's 20 clear volume developer work on colored carpet. the carpet we have is a grayish black? I don't want it to bleach the color
