Do cleaning powders work?

     The majority of carpet cleaning issues involve cat urine and dog urine removal. Ask any smart elementary school student or high school sophomore and they will quickly point out that because cat urine and dog urine are liquids they will quickly penetrate the carpeting, padding and eventually the sub floor.

     Well then, how can a cleaning powder or saw dust type cleaner possibly work? Cleaning powders really can't. At best cleaning powders can absorb some measure of the wet fresh pet urine but will be absolutely ineffective at actually removing the pet urine because a powder simply cannot penetrate and get at the pet urine.

     We have tested the best known cleaning powders and they are mediocre simply because they leave behind a substantial amount of the urine that has penetrated the carpeting, padding and the surrounding sub floors.

     Unfortunately cleaning powders contain a significant amount of perfume designed to mask the cat urine and dog urine that is still remaining in the carpeting and padding.

     Basically the physics behind cleaning powders renders them ineffective for pet urine removal.
