No guarantees. Urine contamination can cause dye damage over time, which may be visible under a black light, even though you can't see it under ambient light.

What about an old stain of feces? My German Shepherd soiled herself on my Jeep’s backseat and I tried to clean it initially but at the time nothing worked. I even had my Jeep detailed last month and they couldn’t get the stain out (I didn’t explain what it was). Just wondering if your suggestion would still work?

[@StainFu]

Yes this should work! (Assuming it's a synthetic fabric and not leather). If the weighted towel method is not working, you might have to spray (if using Stain Fu) and have it exposed to UV light if possible, and then repeat if necessary.

[@BS-dq1kz]

Wow! I need some of that stuff!

[@anneporter123]

Jackie, I used this technique with a yellow towel before I saw this video. I have a yellow stain now that is not urine. Can I just repeat the steps with a white towel? Thanks.

[@StainFu]

Yes, I would retry the steps with a white towel and see what happens. If you see yellow on your white towel, keep repeating the steps until fully gone. If you still have a yellow spot that doesn't seem to be moving, I would treat the area with Stain Fu and let it air dry, and repeat as necessary. It's possible that the dye transfer from the towel made the spot permanent, but hopefully that's not the case. Let us know how it goes!

Hello I have a question for you so I have a dark blue synthetic fiber carpet with extremely old and stubborn dog urine stains that make my house stink can you please give me the best cleaning solution to remove these stains please and thank you

[@StainFu]

Hi, and thanks for writing. If you have a lot of pet stains throughout, it's a good idea to have it professionally cleaned. That said, it is possible that you have contamination in the padding and possibly the subfloor, which cause odors to wick up from below into the room. A professional cleaning company can check for subsurface contamination with a few different kinds of tools, including a moisture meter and UV light. If it's just a few areas that you can address yourself, obviously we recommend using Stain Fu to remove the odors. :) If the urine is deep in the carpet backing, pad, and subfloor, you'll need to use enough product to completely saturate those areas with Stain Fu, then blot up, and place a stack of white terry towels on the stain(s), and place something heavy on the towels, like a heavy book or brick. Since carpet dries from the bottom up, the weighted towels use wicking action to pull the contamination from deep below the surface up into the towels. Inspect the towels after several hours and repeat as necessary with a new application of Stain Fu and fresh towels. Please always follow directions on the label, and if you need personal assistance, we're always glad to help! [e-mail] ~Team Stain Fu

[@baileymccoy2997]

@@StainFu okay thank you very much

[@connor4236]

Will you get a similar result if you use vinegar and water mix.

[@StainFu]

Vinegar can typically help neutralize smell, but there is a possibility it could set stains and make them permanent. I would try to do a small test spot first and see what happens. Best of luck!

[@whiteemic]

Will this work on a very long shaggy wool rug? My dog thinks its her backyard and won’t stop peeing on it. When would you recommend using a spot cleaner vacuum, like a Bissell? My husband wants to just throw out the rug but it was $$$. But to professionally clean it is the price of the rug. I’m confused if it’s best to do what this video says or will i get a deeper clean with some hot water & cleaner/scrubbing, and sucking process? Or do both?

[@StainFu]

Based on your situation, I think a combo of both would be best. If the urine is somewhat fresh, I would use your extractor first to try and get as much urine out of the rug as possible. If you're able to, you can even flip the rug over and try to extract the foundation that way as well. Also, if it is indeed wool, it's best to use cold water. If the urine is old or has dried, the method we show in the video should work, but you'll have to make sure you use enough product to treat the long fibers and also get to the foundation of the rug. Try to pull back the fibers as best as you can to get to the base, and then apply the product. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then stack white towels with a weight on top. You might have to do this a few times, depending on how severe the issue is. You can check out our video from our carpet cleaning channel if you'd like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIfVY6V3pqdqjbs We go over how we would clean pet accidents from a shaggy rug. We'll try to make a future video for this channel too :) Best of luck!

[@whiteemic]

@@StainFu I’m trying to process. It’s going to be tedious but I’ll just do a section per day. I had no idea how bad it was but I can see stains in the base. Do you have any recommendations for something to put on the rug so my dog will stop doing it?

[@StainFu]

@@whiteemic From our experience, dogs/pets will usually keep going in an area because they feel comfortable with that location, or they like the texture/feel of that area. If possible, I would try to move the area rug into a different location and see if your dog keeps doing it. Puppy pee pads are kind of hit and miss, but if your dog keeps going in the same spot, you can try to put some pee pads on the area and the rug to "change the texture" for your dog and see what she does. She might go on the pee pads, she might try to go in a different area, it's hard to say. If only we could read their minds! If there are any health concerns, you might want to take her to the vet as well. We have some customers who have told us their dog ended up having a medical issue and that's why it kept peeing. We've even seen instances like stress from moving or lifestyle changes causing a dog to potty inside. Let us know how it goes!

[@smctopia]

I bought for a cat pee stain and it did not work. Very disappointing.

[@StainFu]

I am sorry to hear that! We'd like to see if we could still help. Could you tell us more about what happened? Was there any previous spot treatments that were used beforehand? Was there any improvement? Did the spot go away and then come back?

[@gruncikevokaa8273]

Hello does this work with fabric sofa?

[@StainFu]

Yes :) I would test in a hidden area first before use. Some fabric sofas are very particular. Also if you're dealing with urine on a cushion, see if you can unzip the fabric and see if the cushion needs to be treated as well.

[@ericalynn6878]

Can u use it on sectional sofa

[@StainFu]

You can, as long as the fabric is water safe. We recommend you always test in an inconspicuous area before proceeding.

[@JessicaMonterrubio]

Does this help with the stain on harwood floors ?

[@StainFu]

Hi - several of our customers have used Stain Fu to at least some degree of success on finished wood floor stains. It will likely raise the grain on unfinished wood (depends on the species), so remember it is an oxidizer and is designed to break down organic material. (wood is organic) That said, it can work effectively depending on several factors like species of wood, degree of staining, degree of finish remaining, and dwell time of product on the stain. We would only recommend it as a last ditch effort, only on finished wood, where sanding and refinishing is the only other option. We recommend only up to 15 minute dwell time before wiping up and allowing the wood to completely dry before subsequent attempts. We're not familiar with any specific product that is completely safe and restorative for all wood floor installations outside of sanding and refinishing. A product designed for wood deck bleaching may work (which will likely contain oxalic acid), but again may cause secondary damage like raised fibers, so please test and proceed with caution.

[@avoiceinsupportoftruth5]

Wow!

[@logannn8849]

Hello just wondering does this work with ink stains ?

[@StainFu]

If the ink is water based/water soluble, this should work. However, most ink is not and requires more of a solvent-based remover :(

[@dav1n251]

Will this work on hard wood floors?

[@StainFu]

Yes, assuming the wood floor is finished/sealed :)

[@KLR-650]

what about the urine in the pad? Wouldn't that be drawn up into the carpet?

[@StainFu]

Yes, given enough contamination, it certainly could wick up from the pad / subfloor into the carpet fibers. If that's the case, it's best to use the weighted white towel method where you stack white towels over the treated area, and weight it down overnight with something heavy like a book or a brick. Repeat if necessary.

[@BigZ26]

What if I don’t have stain fu?

[@StainFu]

You could try with a different spot remover, but results may vary.

[@jcyork1767]

Guys! I used this and the stain went away.... then a few weeks later, stains came back. 😒😞

[@StainFu]

Hi. If your spots came back it means the contamination is still in the backing and/or pad and needs to be coaxed out using the weighted towel method in the instructions. If you need more help pls feel free to visit our website stainfu.com, or call us at 517.618.0961 We're always happy to help our customers!

[@tokyodripuwu500]

Can it be any stain and oder remover or does it have to be that one???

[@Kiharu_Sunzuko]

Is it bad that I used a dish soap and scrubbed the urine while it was wet? 😳

Not necessarily bad, but usually doesn't fully remove the urine that way. You most likely have residue in that spot and it needs to be extracted out with water as well. Does it still have an odor or stain?

Does this work for cat pee on mattresses?

[@StainFu]

Yes! However, mattresses can be tough, depending on how much urine is in the mattress. Be sure to use enough Stain Fu to completely saturate the stain(s), let Stain Fu sit on the stain for a while (the deeper the stain, the longer - generally 10 minutes to 30 minutes should be sufficient) and blot up with a white terry cloth towel. Let it completely dry and repeat, if necessary.

Bacteria in urine?

[@StainFu]

Bacteria forms once the urine is out of the body and onto the carpet /surface because urine is a food source for it. If you clean pet urine right away, it usually doesn't smell. Once it sits and dries like the example above is when we usually smell the odors because of the bacterial reaction. It is possible to have bacteria in the urine before they pee if there is an infection or something wrong with your pet.

Since carpet dries from the bottom to the top, the weight is allowing the urine and product to absorb into the towels. In most cases the urine is already in the pad and subfloor, so you need weight to get it out.
