With oxidizers being such a key component of treating organic urine stains, pre-spotting using a spotter with an oxidizing component is a no-brainer because it is usually more effective the longer it sits, which is also true with spotting most spots.
Being before extraction, the results during extraction in regards to the effectiveness of the spotting agent of choice after a good dwell can help to better decide what to use if post-spotting is necessary.
A noticeable improvement should indicate your on the right track, whereas poor/no improvement will mean your using the wrong chemistry, or your fooked.

Barf, Hurl, Chunks, Chavez, Puke...........too often not given the attention it warrants in pet stain discussions, as if pets only sh*t and piss.
If unknown, I like to first question the customer in regards to the possibility of the stain being from VOMIT as opposed to a doggy deuce, in the best interest of covering my azz.
I have learned t never let a customer succeed in vaguely selling a vomit stain to you as a shat mark because it may tend to be less embarrassing to them, without being sure to probe the topic a little further.
Domesticated animals barf more than most people think, making it foolish to ever assume that any stain that appears to have been applied on the "wet" side is feces.
Animal vomit is a completely different ballgame that caries a much lower success rate than when dealing with urine and feces.
Strong stomach acids and Bile..........undigested food and treats possibly containing food colorings.......medications......all game-changers that will come back to bite you in the ass if you assume a stain is from shat and fail to address it in your best interest in mind.
Irregardless, I think an oxidizer is still the primary weapon, and it's level of effectiveness on the stain is better to be known sooner rather than later.
No hurl icon??

Who do ya'll clean for that let their pets take big honkin shits right in there home? Fookin crazy people!
Also how comfortable are we with efficacy?
Would you lay you head down on the carpet to take a nap? Would you walk barefoot on the carpet. If you dropped a grape on the carpet, would you pick it up and eat it?
You clients are going to, but would you?

I think Frank really enjoys "probing" his customers. I agree with Larry and I think that is what Pet Zone is. Enzymes and oxidizers. Dwell time up to 1/2 hour.

My standard Pre-spray has peroxide so it's attacking any stains that need oxidized. The carpets just turn out better with than without it. Most animal stains are invisible before I get to them. If they aren't nearly all will be gone by the time it's dry.
What he said...
Depends on how long of a job it is. If it's two rooms and a hall, I'm hopefully not going to be there long enough for an oxidizer to work on a difficult spot.
If they(urine) come out in the first few minutes of an oxidizer, more than likely pre spray would have also got them out. If they remain, then post spotting.
If the job is large enough that dwell time will help, then you bet pre spot away.

Odor Attack oxidizer will stay active for a couple of hours.
Actual Enzyme portion will still be effective the next day.

Had a big yellow stain a few years ago in a Vancouver condo. I ask the girl what kind of dog she has, cause it's a big one. She says, not my dog, that's my boyfriend.
