Re: carpet smell and stink in the house by Eloise on July 19, 2012 @09:57

                              
Yes, Nature's miracle and Folix are the best products out there for pet urine stains and smells, but when the carpet is to a point where you can not see the spots, I don't see how it could help.
If you do not wish to replace the carpet {which I think you should, but spending more $$$$ is most likely not an option!} you should find a good carpet cleaning company. Where my property is at, I have a company that handles a lot of section 8 houses {my property is not section 8, but I was recommended I found someone with section 8 move outs experience, and it paid off} they left the house's carpet looking and smelling like brand new. You should just call a few local companies and ask. It is a lot cheaper than replacing!
I also have good experiences with Stanley Steemer, but not as good as the section 8 guys.

When our tenant moved out, her male cat had marked the carpet in her room. There were no spots, but LOTS of odor. We used a battery-powered portable black light ($10) to locate the urine areas, then photographed them for evidence.

The light wasn't very bright, unfortunately, and had to be done in the dark, or with the windows covered, but it did work.

    There you go! I have not tried the products on CAT urine but DOG, so, not sure if it would work for cats but that combination looks pretty good!
    Where did you buy that? Home Improvement type store?

Its very easy for a child to get influenced by plepoe around them to adapt themselves to vices as they are not in literal meaning addicted but they try to imitate or portray what they see others do, especially their idol person or maybe a hero.Its not easy to lure them away from it as if shown too much importance it may leave a permanent impression on their mind but yes you could give it a try. Make it a point to offer him Chewing Gum every time you meet him or see him or make it a point to meet or see him at least for some days, because its such a thing which even his idols would also like to chew and chewing gum is proved to kill the urge of nicotine. Whenever you meet him and offer a chewing gum also try to casually talk to him more about the advantages of chewing a chewing gum, like its cheap and its more easy to get and that he does not have to worry about hiding it nor its odour etc. rather than telling him disadvantages of smoking remember do not over emphasise on the topic but try and give it a casual twist like the way you would speak to your friend, in short he needs to start building trust on you. Then you can reveal the fact that you know he smokes remember this is the point which is most important so try to be as subtle as you can (very important!!!) DO NOT STOP HIM OR CRITICISE HIS SMOKING at this time. Once you believe he is quite comfortable talking to you about his smoking habit then try begin with why you do not like smoking and slowly speak him out of the vice as by that time I am sure he will also be more influenced towards eating a chewing gum. This may take you some time in your life, but the satisfaction of what you achieved will be limitless. God bless you both and all the best.
