That why the enzyme cleaners work; they contain a bacteria, that "eats" the protein. Urine is made of several things, but it is essentially sterile water that contains proteins, you get rid of the protein, and you are left with water.
He may not be familiar with enzyme cleaners, and think that they are just another type of shampoo, many of which are worthless. |
Natures Miracle and other enzyme cleaners "eat" the stains. That's why the directions tell you it can take up to a week to dry. I always follow up with my Spot Bot, but I always wait at least five days.
