Lindsay, I have heard that people who invested in those lights looked like this -> when they turned on the light and saw all the pee spots they didn't know existed! LOL!

Haha! That was my face in my old place the night I bought that light! I knew Layla had a couple of pee spots on the area rug under the kitchen table. Turned out to be a couple HUNDRED! At least that's what it looked like! I scrubbed the heck out of that rug, left it over the fence outside to dry and air out, and never put it back down!

That's a good idea, Lindsey. As fustrated as I've been though I might kill a couple of dogs though!! I could keep a closer eye on keeping things cleaned though. I'm going to look into that!

My Yorkie is in doggie heaven now but when we first got him it was summer so the doors were open all the time, we were really lucky that after a couple of accidents he always went out side, once winter came buy accident one day he followed the cat out the cat flap and from then on he used to use the cat flap.

I used Odoban on the rugs in Brooklyn. You can get it online, or Costco used to have it. They still might.

The truth is though, that nothing helped. I called several professional rug cleaners
who advertised that they get rid of pet odors from carpeting. A couple were honest with me, and told me that there is nothing that will get rid of the smell to the dogs' noses, and that they will continue going back to those spots. It seems that it gets through the rug to the padding, and then to the flooring below. If that's wood, it can smell too.

When I moved up here, I got laminate. It cleans up beautifully! (Except my color, which shows streaks, but that's a whole different story). My feeling is that carpeting and dogs just don't go together.

Thanks everyone for your response. Lindsey, I did order the black light. On e-bay it was $10.99 with free shipping so I have one on the way. I can smell that they've been pottying somewhere again. I have the furniture rearranged so it could be anywhere. Bummer. Jazzi's been tied up in the kitchen more than she was. The little stinker!!!
