Hello,
I'm new to the forum, but I've spent several hours reading all the previous posts about cat marking.
I have just bought a black light and put painter's tape around all the stains I found. I then plan to treat with an enzemaptic cleaner (I have "urine-off") several times as needed, and then follow with vinegar for good measure.
My question is: What do the urine spots look like under the back light if you have successfully treated with the enzymatic cleaner? Will the spots still show up, will they be completely gone, more faint, etc? How will I know when the spot is clean enough to remove the kitty-deterrant (upside-down carpet runners) from the areas with minimal risk of the cats still smelling the spot and deciding its OK to go there? I know that cats smell what humans can't, so I understand that even if it smells OK to me, it may still smell like pee to the kitty?
Thanks for any help you can give!
