I've heard that Odoban is excellent but haven't found it in my area yet.

My Mom has four dogs, and swears by it. I started using it recently and LOVE it. Try this link; it has a store locator.

Earlier this morning was the first I read of this thread. While at Walmart today Urine-Gone was sitting on a display. It's the product that comes with the black light. Being overly curious I picked up a bottle and patiently waited all day for it to become dark to use the light.

The black light is to show all the urine spots, feces, blood, etc left by humans or pets.

Hmmmmm...Ok, I find myself a VERY CLEAN person and keep a well kept house. This light almost made me sick to my stomach as it proved me wrong. There were so many small potty spots through out the house I ended up using the entire bottle. I found it interesting that no spots were in the living room. (trust me not complaining) But all 3 bedrooms, bathrooms, and the service porch where we keep their potty pads had more spots than I even wanted to count.

The Urine-Gone has removed the spots. You just spray it on and let it dry. No blotting needed.

So, I will let the spots dry and tomorrow night check to see if the spots sprayed earlier came back.

I admit...I knew that my Schatzie and Ransom have made a few potty errors but geeeeeezzzzzzz the black light proved to me that I want new carpet now. :eek: Seeing all the spots made me feel so dirty and as if I don't keep a clean house. "The Light Don't Lie" as I kept saying to myself as I squirted each spot till the bottle ran dry. :(

Oh also...Just out of curiosity I tried using the Odo-Ban that is spoken so much here on YT on the spots. That worked also.

I in NO way wanted to come here to post by admitting that I found gobs of potty stains, I am somewhat ashamed. However, I wanted the rest of you to know that so far this Urine-Gone seems to be doing the job.

So...Any body else use the black light in their home?? Anybody wanna fess up as to what they've found? LOL :D

Schatzie, you are not alone! I didn't use the blacklight but about two months ago we replaced our carpet. Seeing the underneath of the old one was the most SHOCKING thing I've ever seen. I was thoroughly disgusted to find out EXACTLY where Macey was peeing when we weren't looking! :eek: I can't believe I was walking around on that. That's why we got a spotbot the day after Lilah came home. I even asked for one for my birthday, so I can have one in my apartment :p I'm also going to look into the products mentioned on this thread.

The only stuff I used that worked was Proklean, Iloveproklean.com, I have not used the odorban though.

I will try Urine-GOne, but try Spot Shot. We tried soooo hard to get stains off the carpet when we were moving. A realator I know suggested it and it works WONDERS!! It lifted stains that had been there for 4 years, including a huge red stain that we thought would never come out. I use it for everything now! Nothing beats it at urine stains, and we had tried just about everything before.

I'm on the edge of my seat, waiting to see if the Urine Gone worked??
I've heard others talk abt their black light shock, I don't even wanna try it, I'd probably have to move! lol :eek:

Ok, test results are back in. I DO NOT like this Urine Gone. In fact, it's awful!!!

There was never a "urine smell" or carpet stains prior to me using this product.

Now I have stains and a tremendous urine odor in the hall way and our closet. Ugh!!!! All this product did was bring the urine to the surface of the carpet.

It was NEVER this bad until I used this product...So, this morning I have mixed a solution of bleach/water and used our carpet shampoo machine so far in the closet. Waiting for that to dry then I will attempt the hall way.

BTW, you can only use bleach on light colored berber, any other carpet used w/ bleach will be ruined. Berber is made up of mostly plastic fibers.

This Urine Gone product is just terrible and now we may be looking at replacing the carpet.

OMG Schatzie's momma!! It's too bad it happened that way! My sister is a buyer for Wal-Mart...I will mention your bad experience to her and maybe she can pass it along to whoever buys for that department. Times like these that I'm glad I have all wood floors and swiffer wet!! :-)

Ahhhhhhh thanks for posting that follow-up Sheryl. I have been looking for this thread to see if anyone else had posted to it. Sorry about your carpet :(

I think I am going to check out OdoBan
