MUST HAVE IF YOU OWN A CAT AND HAVE URINE SMELL!
If you have cat urine smell in your carpet, you need to rid it of the proteins of the urine or you will NEVER get rid of that smell. Every rainly day, you'll still smell that urine even if you rent or purchase a very expensive carpet cleaner. In fact, we did some research and found that a steamer can make things worse by setting the smell in. We used a spot bot for daily cleaning but the room the cats were messing in started to smell bad. We purchased this light to shine on the carpet, find the urine spots and then used a power/pump sprayer with an ENZYME based pet cleaner to apply. We just sprayed on and let it dry for a week or however long it takes. The light allowed us to see the stains/spots very, very well. I don't understand the one post that stated they could hardly see the stain because we saw them very clearly. Our carpet had some thread in it that gave us a sprinkling of light (consistent) throughout but it was VERY easy to see spots that you couldn't see at all in regular light. So far so good. After we used the light and enzyme, we rented a carpet cleaner, added ONLY water and a little vinegar (about a cup) and thoroughly rinced the carpet. It cost only $22 to rent (no soap or extras needed). Last, we followed our research tips and dowsed the area with sented baking soda It really worked. We finally got the smell out. If there are any negatives with this light, I'll edit my post here. Good luck!

It really works!
I was a little skeptical at first. But, we have a new puppy and he has found an area he loves to "visit". The more I cleaned the more I could smell. This light has helped me find the areas for cleaning. Thanks to this light I no longer have lingering urine smells.

Not all I thought it would be.
The detector was simple enough to use, although it required alot of batteries(8). But the results were mixed. Urine markings were faint and hard to distinguish from other organic substances. Even in areas where I knew there had been an accident, it was difficult to spot the difference. All in all, I generally wouldn't recommend this. (Although it did clearly show a distressing amount of what I believe is mold in the bathroom.)
