Is it urine or not?

Do you have a spot on the carpet or floor that you are wondering if it is urine or something else? I am going to describe a simple test you can use to find out.

1. Moisten the suspected spot lightly with hot water. Misting from a spray bottle works just fine.
2. Take a folded paper towel and place it on the moistened area.
3. Take a book (I use a phone book) and place it on the paper towel to help it absorb some of the moisture. You can put a piece of plastic between the book and the paper towel to protect the book from getting any moisture on it. Let it sit (absorb) for long enough to transfer some odor. 30 seconds to one minute should do it.
4. Wearing gloves take the moistened paper towel and put it in a plastic cup or similar container.
5. Smell the odor in the cup. This usually quickly identifies whether it is urine or not.
