SkySoaringMagpie Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 We have a house guest this weekend so, even tho' they are a doggie person visiting for a show, I like to make the place as pleasant as possible. I went over the house carefully with a black light this evening to find and clean any peemail from our dog. I was happily surprised how little there was, I usually let my imagination run away with me about the house being a filth pit but I only found two light patches and a small dried puddle in a crate. Except for one place - the kitchen. There was stuff on the cupboards, stove and fridge that fluoresced but it wasn't pee like marking (clearly I have unclean cupboards tho' ). Does food contaminated liquid fluoresce under the black light? Or do I have to resign myself to an awful truth that the kitchen is being creatively marked? I have treated all the fluorescing surfaces with an enzyme based cleaner, I just hate the idea of pee in my kitchen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faolmor Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Maybe it is fat anbd blood prodcuts from food ?? That would definitely be my guess. If it was a pee spray, you could tell by it's shape, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a pee spray, you could tell by it's shape, surely? That's what I thought, and this is just the standard splash pattern you get from working in a kitchen. The kitchen also doesn't smell like pee, but I still get paranoid because I know people get used to smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 They use black light on CSI type programs when looking for any bodily fluids, so blood etc from cooking could be a good explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramissa Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I'd never thought of using a black light to check for pee stains. Thank you I think it would be blood etc as well, that has been washed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRJ Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Where do I get one? We have a sneaky little bugger who doesn't like to get her paws wet in winter - and our carpets are cream so we can't see it unless we put our foot in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Where do I get one? We have a sneaky little bugger who doesn't like to get her paws wet in winter - and our carpets are cream so we can't see it unless we put our foot in it! The company that makes Urine-Off makes the black lights. You could ask around, do an internet search or contact the distributor. Hope that helps Edited June 5, 2009 by The Spotted Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I noticed that the black light will show up spilt laundry detergent so I am thinking that it may show up anything with ammonia in it which would explain why it shows up dog pee. I know it shows up all the little white bits of fluff on the carpet that you can't normally see in daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
