Two banana sized sos showed up under UV inspection.
I couldn't smell anything.

Padded as normal.


What would you do on the return visit?

I'm unclear on a few things:

"Two of the offices still smell like dog urine"....Urine in an office carpet? If this isn't a veternarian, WTH is a dog doing in there? (Besides urinating)

Glue down or stretched over pad?

I know how you feel about urine decontamination, so I guess it is also a question of what you want to do versus what you can do.

I am only willing to spray some Cide on anything that glows, and walk away.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around dog urine on the carpet in a lawyer's office.

Are you sure it isn't human urine from when they get the bill for their services?

That much urine (banana sized) on a glue down carpet is going to need a sufficient amount of product applied, pushed down into the backing with your wand with no vacuum hose attached, then extraction after it has had time to work (however the product of your choice works).

If you just want to do what you've already done, and they seem open to replacing it, you have your answer.

Wait....

25 year old glue down carpet in a lawyer's office? Those cheap hijos de putas should have replaced it a long time ago.

That carpet is barely worth cleaning, let alone deodorizing.

They have a perfect excuse to take the deposit money and put in new carpet.

I have learned to absorb that pets are now family members, "four legged children" and all that stuff.

I think its great for our industry, not just because they urinate liquid gold, but even when perfectly behaved, they create cleaning opportunities and an ability for cleaners to create relationship building communications that might not otherwise exist.

But the thought of a SPOS lawyer caring enough to keep a dog with him in his office is beyond my ability to comprehend.

Are you sure the dog doesn't look like this?

Jesus carries one of these


View attachment 116424



if water is on and there's a bathroom or sink, the above fits 95% of faucets.
There's one other thread adapter for the above that fits the other 4.299% of faucets (occasionally found in com/med offices)



..L.T.A.
Jesus might have those in his pocket, but he walks on water, remember 🤷🏼‍♂️ No prob for him, but for the rest of us, it’s why we carry water. Another option.

If it’s glue down that makes it twice as easy to rinse out

No excuse for lazy

Jim, free your mind for quick flight to the left coast, where every day is take your dog to work day. People actually make career decisions on whether the workplace is dog friendly.

Mikey, you know you're not getting anything out of the carpet with a swirly pad, so you're going to have to use a dichlor product, saturate the carpet, and stand on a pile of bonnets to soak it up.

Just encapped a job like that. No urine though, at least as far as I could find. Just a doggy body odor because the boss brings his dog to work. Used Saigers(hey, where's my check) oxy-encap with a little Saigercide eucalyptus mint deodorizer and they tell me it still smells great 3 days later.

It’s because the vast majority of our peers can’t think for themselves or see where it says “sodium chlorite” on the 8 dollar packet.

Buying your own runs you about 75 cents for the same ounce of the same stuff.
But it doesn’t have the “hint o’ lemon” 🙄
