To peroxide or not to peroxide.

The enzymes need to be applied heavily so they sink into the pad like the urine did. You apply enough so there's plenty left behind to keep working under the carpet.
Then flush the Crap out of it then apply peroxide.

That's one method I use.

Sometimes I use OSR first instead of enzymes. Depends on severity type of dog. Is dog still present. Enzymes can be irritants to pets. Gets on the paws they lick their paws then get sick.

OSR is about as effective as padding

Go back to your basic chemistry on breaking down urine salts. An alkaline enzyme Can’t neutralize the urine to be flushed out. All it’s doing is killing the bacteria. It’s like polishing a turd.

Wasn't longer ago Matt, you were singing the praises of acid treatments. Going back to basic chemistry.

Actually, I find the osr types of products very effective. I use a watering can to apply to carpeted toilets.

I think people are confusing enzymes with the live enzyme producing products like MM, or Bio Modifier.

And in the past Chemspec ENZ was labeled for urine treatment The label has changed, but, not long after the change I spoke with someone at their place, and was told it is still the same.
I would mix OSR and ENZ sometimes when saturating and clawing.

Harvard Pet Stain Off has always been my go to for urine since 1992. Never has failed me on a job that was savable and it works pretty fast.

Then keep using it
Don’t allow yourself to get distracted by newer, less expensive products

How funny, I was going to say the same thing. But did not want to derail

Because just yesterday I had the opportunity to revisit a previous job. Because of doing apts, I don't always have the luxury of evaluation.
This particular one I was able to experiment some. Tried the OSR route, topically. Several times. I think at the time I was seeing if I liked the New Unleashed product.
So after doing those a couple of times and still noticing the odor, I flushed and used Pet stain off. Which, when I checked back took care of it.
That was more than a year ago, and yesterday it was like new carpet.

Of course one could say that all the previous flushing contributed to it success.
But I think if time permits , the live culture stuff works best. Whether MM, Bio M etc.
Have seen some pretty bad places remediated.

And Marty don't bother!!!! I know YAWN!!!!

Who said anything about urine salts?
If I run into salts that won’t flush out, which is like never, I’ll 40 v them.

If I run into salts, I put it on the rim of my margarita glass.
