If I mixed up a concentrated solution of liquid enzyme such as Prochem's "Enzyme rescue" into the chemical feed jug and metered it at around 2gph while cleaning, would the enzyme residue left behind be enough to make a difference with organic odor such as urine, vomit, feces or food? I have all but stopped bothering to spray "perfumed water" on to nasties, I just really dont think I'm accomplishing anything other than adding a temporary "nice smell" which quickly fades away. I think the best deodorizing is to remove the source, so using an enzyme enriched solution while cleaning may have a better effect. Yes? No?
Actually if your looking to remove nasty stuff. Use it as the prespray. I am assuming your using the prochem as intended? I got tired of wasting money on presrays that didnt work if at all. And during a very busy day and supplier was closed I had run out of presray So I used the detergent as the prespray and it blew me away with great results.
I suppose it could work as a prespray as far as the deodorizing goes, but it wouldnt clean soil as well, and I would have to wait at least 1/2 hour for the enzymes to do their job. Maybe a better approach is to clean with normal prespray, then just mist the whole thing down with liquid enzyme after without extracting, just allow it to dry that way.. hmm.. In other words, use it as I would have used the masking agent deodorizers.
This is a good plan for mild odors if the source is organic. It won't help on all odors. Does nothing for smoke for example.
Always find the odor source kinda like a water job. If you don't find the source of the problem and fix it the water will never go away
Can it be mixed with the prespray I normally use? Or would that negate the effect of the enzyme? I'm concerned if used on it's own, it would not clean very well the regular soils. Then again, if I was going to do that, I may as well use something like Power Burst which is a high alkaline cleaner plus enzyme. I'm sure Bridgepoint has something similar too. This of course doesn't really answer my original question, can I use it as an additive in the chem injection system with any reasonable effect? Or would I just be wasting the chemical?
Richard; We have found the best solution for general "pet odors" is to use a powder that contains: 1. Actual Enzyme that is compatible with oxidizer 2. Oxidizer for eliminating the odor producing compounds. In our line, it is our PowerMax. Larry
Richard you would be amazed, using an enzyme as the prespray. I have seen organic filth like feces, vomit, blood, Colostomy bag goop, baby vomit, leaky trash-bags on carpet type stains. Disappear before my very eyes.. Prespraying after extraction will leave a residue. sticky and chemically irritating to home occupants. I am a clean rinse guy. zero residues left behind. and yes it also works of some urine issues. I have yet to try Cobbs Powermax. might want to give that a try.
Off topic a lil but i have a moose for a pet thats a mastiff. He pissed in our house 3 weeks ago on the carpet. If it was not for the double sided plastic coated padding. Our new carpet would have smelled like horse piss for years to come.... 1 time with the claw and thats all she wrote. I think its the padding and the perosity of the material that make it a perfect habitation for these proteins and salts to reek up the house.
