Controlling odors Empty
PostSubject: Controlling odors   Controlling odors EmptyWed Jan 23, 2008 2:33 pm

"One thing you may not know is rodents do not have bladders so they urinate everywhere they go. The first step to proper deodorization is removing the source. Another thing about urine is when it first comes out of a body it is on the Acid side of the Ph scale, when it dries it performs a cute trick of flipping to the Alkaline side of Ph scale. We always clean with the opposite of what the Ph reading is. Meaning most cleaners are alkaline base since most soils are acid based.

But in this instances of dried urine you will need a acid side cleaner. Vinegar is excellent. An enzyme is very good for reaching deep penetrated urine in wood, grout or concrete surfaces. You need to know that emzyme settles to the base of the container very rapidly; so shake the container often.

Also, just spraying a thin layer over a urine area is usually very unproductive. We usually pour the enzyme on and keep it wet for 36 to 48 hours by using plastic to cover it and keeping tempatures down. Look everywhere a mouse can run. I once purchased an unsanitary dwelling and once we emptied it, we found mice used the support beam in the basement and the duct work of the furnace as run areas. We opend up every wall four feet up from the floor and there were mouse nests in over half of the wall void between the studs. All of the nests had to be removed and all the stud structure washed down and nutralized with enzyme.

Your final step will be heat. Turn up the furnace (only after having it checked out for safety)as high as it will go and leave for up to three days. Air our the property and see where you are. If you need further help feel free to call."
