        Use a black light to help you find all of the urine area. Just turn off the lights and the stains will show up. Take a piece of chalk and circle the area.

        Now that you have identified all of the areas apply the cleaning solution and let sit for about 10 - 15 minutes. After letting the solution sit take a rag and blot the area starting from the outside edge working toward the center.
