How To Clean Pee Off A Leather Couch

Cleaning urine from a leather couch can be a daunting task, but it's important to act quickly in order to prevent stains and odors. If the urine has dried, you may need to use more cleaning solutions and scrub harder. Here are the steps you can follow to clean pee off a leather couch:

1. Blot up the urine: Use a clean cloth or paper towels to blot up as much urine as possible from the leather surface. Avoid rubbing the urine in as this can spread the stain. If the urine has already dried, you can gently scrape off any excess with a spoon or credit card.

2. Mix a cleaning solution: There are several cleaning solutions that you can use to clean urine from leather. You can use a mild dishwashing soap, a leather cleaner, or a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio). Mix the cleaning solution in a bowl or bucket.

3. Test the cleaning solution: Before applying the cleaning solution to the entire stained area, test it in an inconspicuous area of the couch to make sure it doesn't damage the leather. Apply a small amount of the cleaning solution to the test area and let it sit for a few minutes. Wipe away the cleaning solution and check for any discoloration or damage.

4. Apply the cleaning solution: Once you're satisfied that the cleaning solution is safe to use, apply it to the urine stain. Use a clean cloth or sponge to apply the cleaning solution and gently scrub the stain. Be careful not to scrub too hard as this can damage the leather.

5. Rinse the area: After scrubbing the stain, rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth. This will help to remove any remaining cleaning solution and urine residue.

6. Dry the area: Use a clean, dry cloth or paper towels to dry the area. You can also use a hair dryer on a low heat setting to speed up the drying process.

7. Condition the leather: Once the area is dry, apply a leather conditioner to help protect the leather and prevent it from drying out. You can use a commercial leather conditioner or a homemade conditioner made from equal parts olive oil and white vinegar.

If the urine stain is still visible after following these steps, you may need to repeat the process. You can also try using a stronger cleaning solution, such as a commercial pet odor remover.
