How To Get Pee Out Of A Couch Cushion

Peeing on the couch is a common problem, especially if you have pets or small children. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t panic! There are a few simple steps you can take to get the pee out of the couch cushion and make it look good as new.

First, you’ll need to blot up as much of the pee as possible with a clean cloth or paper towels. Don’t rub, as this will only spread the pee around. Once you’ve blotted up as much as you can, it’s time to get to work on removing the stain and smell.

There are a few different products you can use to remove pee stains from couch cushions. One option is to use a commercial pet stain and odor remover. These products are specifically designed to break down pet urine and remove stains and smells. Another option is to use a homemade solution of white vinegar and water. White vinegar is a natural acid that can help to break down the proteins in the urine and remove the stain. To make a vinegar solution, mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes before blotting it up with a clean cloth.

If the stain is still visible, you can try using a stronger solution of vinegar and water. Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the stained area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before blotting it up with a clean cloth. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.

Once you’ve removed the stain, it’s important to neutralize the smell. To do this, you can sprinkle baking soda over the affected area and let it sit for several hours or overnight. The baking soda will help to absorb any remaining urine and neutralize the smell.

Once the baking soda has had time to work, vacuum it up and the couch cushion should be clean and free of both stains and smells.

Here are some additional tips for removing pee stains from couch cushions:

Act quickly. The sooner you start cleaning up the pee, the less likely it is to set in and become difficult to remove.
Use a clean cloth or paper towels to blot up the pee. Avoid using colored cloths or towels, as these could transfer dye to the couch cushion.
Don’t rub the stain. Rubbing will only spread the pee around and make it more difficult to remove.
Be patient. It may take several tries to completely remove the pee stain and smell.
If you can’t remove the pee stain or smell on your own, you may need to call a professional carpet cleaner.
