I have to ask. Do you really do that? Most of the subfloors around here are chipboard. I would imagine that it would expand if you were to flood it and let it sit for 30 mins. I've done it on when the subfloor is concrete and plywood with excellent success. Otherwise I've been too nervous. Any problems?

tim said:my standard procedure is locating the areas of concern with my maglite blacklight, determining how large the area is and how extensive by using a moisture probe. If it doesnt send my probe into siren mode, I boost my prespray with osr/petzone, enzymes (enzall) hydracide/odorcide, and if smell is bad, quatalot and clean. If there are areas that trigger my moisture probe, I mix OSR (tried Petzone and it turned alot of the carpets pink, will never go back) 8 ounces to a gallon of HOT water, with 8 ounces per gallon of Hydracide and 2 ounces per gallon of Quat. Let dwell 30-45 minutes, extract with a waterclaw. Clean the area with a little dd12 in my prespray to help knock down airborne odors. Works great, customers love it and I get $40 a gallon plus my cleaning charges. Again, really liked Petzones potential, didnt foam as much and seemed to work better on the smell with less product used (6 ounces per gallon) but had serious problems turning tan/brown carpet pink. Tested ph, no problem, tried acid correction...you name it. Scared me from using it again. The pink hue was better than the urine stain but OSR never did that so I set the Petzone aside for OSR again.
tim said:I have tested with both, ph was in the 7.5 range on 4 different occassions. I treated with an acid in case my readings were off, could not correct them. I wonder if it didnt bleach the yellow out, leaving the pink hue. I have only had this problem with the heated water claw method, but never with OSR. I thought it was a fluke the first time but now it has happened several times and nothing I do prevents or corrects it. I have been lucky that the urine was so severe that the homeowner was pleased to have the urine stain and odor gone but I pulled it off my truck!
So far it is working quite well for many people around here. I've used it myself with great success.Sticky said:anyone try pet zone with hydrocide? i was wondering if it worked well on the stain and odor?
