Cobbs black light on poly...?

So the first time I used it on my Smartstrand and Olefin carpets I could not get a glow where I know for a fact I pee'd on it.

yet on a job yesterday, cat wiz was glowing like the dickens...

I posted a while back that blacklights do not do well on poly and was told it was because I didn’t have a good blacklight like Cobbs. KMA!

Fourth of July is for celebrating INDEPENDENCE !

And you want to discuss cat pee KMA!

Carpet fiber should not affect fluorescence.

The difference is absorption of the fluorescent material by the fiber.

Polyester absorbs less water-based staining material.

Staining also depends on the concentration of the staining material in the urine/spray.

Cats have stronger concentrations.

"Carpet fiber should not affect fluorescence."

"The difference is absorption of the fluorescent material by the fiber".

If the fiber doesn't absorb the urine,then yes,it does affect fluoresence.

 

[Larry Cobb]

Polyester absorbs less of the water-based staining material.

It migrates down the fiber, and usually ends up on the backing.

In a loose pile it will still be visible.
