Get Rid Of Pee Smell On Couch

Urine odor on a couch can be a stubborn and unpleasant problem. Whether it's from a pet accident, a spill, or any other source, the pungent smell can linger long after the initial incident. Fortunately, there are many ways to get rid of the smell and restore the freshness of your couch.

The first step is to identify the source of the odor. If possible, remove any cushions or covers and inspect the couch for any visible stains or residue. Once you've located the source, you can choose the most appropriate cleaning method.

For fresh urine stains:

Blot up as much urine as possible with a clean cloth or paper towels. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and make it more difficult to remove.

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the stain and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Blot up the solution with a clean cloth.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stain and odor are gone.

For dried urine stains:

Scrape away any dried urine residue with a spoon or butter knife.

Mix one part hydrogen peroxide with one part water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the stain and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Blot up the solution with a clean cloth.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stain and odor are gone.

For stubborn urine odors:

Mix one cup of baking soda with one cup of hydrogen peroxide in a bowl. Apply the paste to the stain and allow it to sit for several hours or overnight. Vacuum up the paste.

Sprinkle baking soda on the area and allow it to sit for several hours. Vacuum up the baking soda.

Additional tips:

Use a black light to help locate urine stains that may not be visible to the naked eye.

If the odor persists after trying the above methods, you may need to contact a professional upholstery cleaner.

To prevent future urine odors, consider using a waterproof couch cover or pet training pads.
