Multiple odor sources are particularly common with cat spray and dog urine.

Application Notes for Carpet and Fabrics
IMPORTANT!: Test an inconspicuous area for staining and discoloration before treating a more conspicuous area.
- Locate the source of the odor by using a black light or your nose. Be aware that there may be more than one source of the smell in close proximity. Multiple odor sources are particularly common with cat spray and dog urine.
- Spray the entire affected area with Odor Destroyer until damp. It is important to realize that urine penetrates the carpet and padding and spreads along the surface of the sub-floor. As a result, the area producing the smell may be 24-40″ in diameter although the surface stain is only 2-6″ in diameter.
- Work the fluid into the carpet using a carpet rake or thick bristled hairbrush. In order to minimize carpet fraying and maximize penetration, keep all strokes in a single direction along the grain of the carpet.
- Wait 24 hours and re-smell the entire affected area (particularly the edges). If you still smell the odor, repeat steps 1-3. If you smell the fragrance and a musty odor like stale bread, this is good. Most of odor has been attacked and is being broken down into harmless compounds. If you smell nothing but the fragrance, be happy. You have eliminated the problem. Repeat steps 1-3 as neccessary.
