Steps
Soak up as much fresh urine as you can with paper towels. Press straight down and hold for a few seconds. Do not rub, because rubbing pushes the urine deeper into the carpet backing.
Test the spray on a hidden patch of carpet, like inside a closet corner. Wait a few minutes and check that the colour has not changed before you treat the visible spot.
Shake the bottle well, then spray the stain until it is fully wet. Use enough to reach the padding below, not just a light mist on the surface.
Turn off the lights and sweep a UV blacklight over the floor. Urine glows a dull yellow, so you can find old spots you missed and treat them too.
Leave the product on the spot for the dwell time printed on the label, which is often around 10 minutes. For old, set-in stains, cover the area with plastic wrap so it stays damp longer.
Blot up the excess with a clean towel, then let the area air dry completely. Keep pets and children off the carpet until it is fully dry.
Smell the spot once it dries. If any odour remains, repeat the spray and dwell step, since the enzymes need another pass to break down what is left.
Seal soiled paper towels in a plastic bag and put them straight in an outside bin. Wash any cloths separately from normal laundry.
Tips and common mistakes
Do not mix the product with other cleaners or run a steam cleaner over it, as both can stop the enzymes from working.
Never use an ammonia-based cleaner on the same spot, because urine contains ammonia and it can attract pets back to the area.
Enzyme cleaners work best on damp surfaces, so do not let the spot dry out before the dwell time is up.
Wear gloves and open a window while you spray, and read the label warnings before use.
Questions
How long should I leave Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer on the carpet?
Follow the time on the bottle label, which is usually about 10 minutes for fresh spots. Old or strong smells often need a longer soak with plastic wrap over the top to keep it damp.
Will it work on old urine stains that have already dried?
Yes, but it usually takes more than one application. Spray, cover to keep it moist, let it sit, then blot and dry. Repeat until the smell is gone when the carpet dries.
Can I use it on things other than carpet?
It is commonly used on rugs, upholstery and hard floors, but check the label for approved surfaces first. Test on a small hidden area, since some fabrics and finishes can be marked.
