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!

My sheltie had 3 accidents within a 2 week period this last spring... we don't know why, but she hasn't done it since, so we think she might not have been feeling well. In any case, I had some carpet to clean with an enzymatic cleaner, and while I knew the general area, I couldn't remember exactly where Zoey had gone pee.You have to use this detector in a pitch dark room.... I think most UV lights have this limitation, even for the professionals. At our old house, we had a pro carpet cleaner come in and treat pet stains, and they could only do this at night with their UV detector, so the cleaners were over late at night to detect and treat.
When I used the Simple Solution Spotter, the urine showed up as very pale, dull yellow spots on my dark thick brown carpet. Zoey has a habit of starting to walk away before she's fully finished peeing, so there were little trailing drips I had to track down this was the hardest part of treating the stains. Other than having to be on my hands and knees, staring hard at the carpet, it was easy enough to start at one area, and work my way backwards until I'd found all 3 spots she'd made.
I'm glad I bought the Simple Solution UV Urine Detector even though I've only had occasion to use it once, and amazon had a lower price than my local pet supply store.
Not that this has to do with the detector itself, but I found it helpful to use a manual pressure sprayer while treating the stains. I found mine in the garden supply area of a hardware store. Mine's larger than regular trigger spray bottles, and you can tilt it forward and downward to spray the carpet something that's hard to do with a trigger spray bottle, as liquid would move away from the straw part of the trigger bottle, and nothing would come out. This wasn't a problem with the manual pressure sprayer... I'd fill it, pump it to build pressure, and I'd have plenty of stain treater to do the entire area. This way, I didn't have to stop to refill the bottle, coming back to the carpet and trying to find where I left off. Hope this tip helps!

This product has ruined my life and will likely cost me thousands of dollars in obsessive-compulsive therapy and cleaning products.I was a little apprehensive after reading all the 1 star reviews and seriously considered just building a black light of my own
(my dad was an electrician, so he taught me how to do a few small things).
Most of the 1 star reviews complain about:
* The unit feeling flimsy and possibly breaking after a few uses.
It's a plastic tool, not a weapon. Unless you plan on going into battle with it, I'm sure you'll be just fine. Keep it out of your mouth.
* Not being able to detect stains easily, awkward to handle?
Yes, you might need to get on the floor and tilt it to the side. A problem if you get easily lost in your own living room, dealing with your stage 4 carpal tunnel.
* The inconvenience of needing 8 AA batteries..
More batteries make the light brighter and they're cheap at the dollar store.
Why don't you pick a few up for your vibrator while you're at it? You sound very grumpy, lonely...
Bottom line, this product did exactly what I needed it to and it only set me back about $20.
The manager at PetsMart helped me find the unit and when I asked her about the quality of the product she said,
"It's amazing. I've worked here for over 3 years and am yet to have one returned."
Welcome to clean-freak heaven.
