WILL URINE STILL Show UNDER UV LIGHT AFTER Carpet CLEANING? Carpet Cleaning Castle Rock
When I got my carpets professional cleaned the carpet was cleaned, but it still showed urine in the backing. Is this normal. Urine will always show up under the UV light even after cleaning and the reason is what your seeing is not urine, but rather the scaring that the urine does to the latex. Urine is a natural acidity mixture containing a high percentage of phosphocreatine —this contains phosphorus —as well as urea and creatinine. After the urine is soaks into your carpets and padding a biological process begins. The urine slats will begin to release ammonia gasses in the air. So after the urine dries you will start to smell what the carpet cleaning industry calls off-gassing.
After getting your carpets professionally cleaned, the area may still glow when observed under UV light. The glow is not due to the presence of urine in that spot, but from phosphorus left over from the urine salts. When you get your carpets professionally cleaned that carpet cleaning company they will use an enzyme solution that breaks down the urine and this also will cause off gassing. This can be unpleasant but a positive indication that the bacteria in your carpet is indeed dying and soon will be gone.
