I did a cat urine job last week. My blacklight showed two 12 foot by 2 foot areas along the walls in a kids playroom solid cat urine. The customer was planning to have a party the following day and since the family room was close by, didn't want the guests to be repulsed by the stench.There also was a similar area in the master bedroom walk in closet.
I mixed up a 1 1/2 gallons of OSR in my pump sprayer ( which has a pressure relief valve) then I completely saturated the areas and agitated the areas The stench got much worse right away.I did a regular cleaning on the rest of the carpets but not the urine areas.I left the OSR in the carpets for about an hour all together.Then I extracted the OSR but did not rinse it. I only rinsed the unaffected areas.
After that the smell was better but still noticeable. I got out my molecular modifier and because the scent of it is very strong I diluted it about 50/50 and sprayed the areas with it. I also stuck the nozzle into the carpet pad in a bunch of places to get the MM into the pad.
My thought was that since those were not traffic areas that I could just leave the OSR in.Oxygen first and enzymes after would be good.
Now I'm just wondering since I did not actually rinse the OSR out completely if the enzymes in the Molecular Modifier could be killed by the residue of the OSR?
The customer was not home while I did the work but I have not gotten a complaint, so I'm hoping it turned out OK.
I did recommend to the customer to replace the carpet and the pad and use kills etc.. I just wanted to make sure they got through their party without embarrassment.
So did I do this right or should I have done something differently?
