How To Clean Dog Pee From A Couch

Dog pee on the couch is a common problem, but it doesn't have to be a disaster. With the right cleaning methods, you can remove the stain and smell, and get your couch looking like new again.

Here are the steps on how to clean dog pee from a couch:

Blot up the pee. Use a clean cloth or paper towels to blot up as much of the pee as possible. Do not rub; this will only spread the stain.
Make a cleaning solution. Mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. You can also add a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender or tea tree oil, to help neutralize the smell.
Spray the cleaning solution on the stain. Saturate the stain with the cleaning solution, but do not over-saturate it.
Let the solution sit for 5-10 minutes. This will give the solution time to break down the stain and neutralize the smell.
Blot up the solution. Use a clean cloth or paper towels to blot up the cleaning solution. Again, do not rub.
Repeat steps 3-5 if necessary. If the stain is still visible or the smell is still present, repeat steps 3-5 until the stain and smell are gone.
Rinse the area with water. Once the stain and smell are gone, rinse the area with water to remove any remaining cleaning solution. Blot up the water with a clean cloth or paper towels.
Dry the area. Use a hair dryer or fan to dry the area completely. Do not allow the area to air dry, as this could cause mold or mildew to grow.

If the dog pee stain is on a delicate fabric, such as silk or velvet, you may need to use a different cleaning method. Test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first to make sure it does not damage the fabric.

To prevent dog pee stains from happening in the future, it is important to train your dog to go to the bathroom outside. You should also keep your dog off the couch when you are not home.
