The Great Debate: Urine Removal Processes

[Sierra Clean Care]

We do a DAILY wash down on all gear at days end. Doesn’t everyone? Am I the only one who has a daily checklist?

, I'm sure every one wipes down everything after every job

 

[Mikey P]

I'll bet you a tiub of boiled peanuts that Marty has never taken apart hi Shark to wash the peegunk out of it.

 

[hogjowl]

I’ve taken the head apart and the vacuum chamber, etc.
Not the motors, of course

So what are your customers saying when you come in with a vacuum reeking of urine from the last job?

Do you blame it on your antiperspirant or the Waffle House?

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

2 vacuums on the truck, one for section 8’s, the other for everything else…

(Of course my section 8 is shark).

 

[Meter Maid]

I would venture to say encap spray
is more harmful to you lungs than urine odor.

Have you looked at the SDS for your Bio stuff from Soapbabydaddy?

Yes. That’s why I bought one jug and never again.

Assuming what? you think I haven't ran a stinky vacuum before?


Some people say they use the customers vacuum instead of their own we're doing your own jobs.

A few times I tried that I was so blown away by The Waffle House stench coming out of the machine that I developed my technique of raking up hair if need be with my wood block carpet rake, pre-spraying and then using the crb with a catch trays and calling it good.

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Sir Richard Francis Burton, the fabled explorer of the 19th century, studied eastern cultures extensively.

Among his discoveries was that there were places in India where there were conflicting cultures of "washers" and "wipers" (think the necessary end behavior after a bowel movement).

Each group saw the others as vile and filthy people.

So it seems this industry has become in how carpets are cleaned, and urine is treated.

Two centuries on, the battle continues.

 

[Mikey P]

Funny Jim,


I've learned more this month about Marty and Larry that I ever cared to know....


Note to self;
fist bump both at all future gatherings
.

 

[Mikey P]

Yes. That’s why I bought one jug and never again.

What did you find?

 

[hogjowl]

Yes. That’s why I bought one jug and never again.

Post a picture of the MSDS here

They definitely changed the SDS and added “trade secrets).

A few years back I was bashing it on Cleaners Connect and some others were too.

Maybe....that one (current) is from 2017

I don’t know, it was posted on that group and I said no, along with others.

Even so, it’s doesn’t look good in its current state.

Why?

other than for some who may want to avoid dlime



seeing "trade secret" doesn't really mean anything and is common. The potential health effects still have to be disclosed just not the ingredient identity.

 

[Luky]

My understanding is from guys like Scott Warrington, and the different products developed,

Is unless the product comes in contact with source of the odor, your not gonna win.

I don't charge alot for pet treatment because I'm going to be adding it to a lot of jobs.

I'm certainly not charging per spot.

If I used unduzit a ready to use product, I would have to charge a lot more.


Like Marty bio spray or grease eater even code red, with a splash of cide


You can eliminate stains and odors effectively and keep your chemical costs down.

It's my understanding that many customers overestimate our power to treat( eliminate would be a very strong term) urine despite their many attempts to take care of the urine stains and odor on their own. Sometimes, the customer will pay double if their standards are met. In households with pets with medical conditions, they have no choice but to have a carpet cleaning service quarterly. Sure, they have the financial means to do it.
Right now, I have an inventory of the following products that can be used to help with urine containment, and I know I'm not any closer to solving the urine problem. So yes, a great " urine debate" goes on.

I couldn't fit all my products in one picture. The file was too big to post.

[hogjowl]

I don’t see where Bio-8 is any more toxic than most other products we use.
If you’re sensitive, just use Procyon, and leave a bunch of soil.

it's just your narcissism kicking in to warp drive is all.
