How To Clean Cat Urine From Leather Couch

If your cat has had an accident on your leather couch, don't panic. With a little patience and the right cleaning supplies, you can remove the urine and its odor without damaging the leather.

Here are the steps on how to clean cat urine from a leather couch:

1. Blot Up the Urine

The first step is to blot up as much of the urine as possible. Use a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towels. Do not rub, as this will only spread the urine and make it harder to remove.

2. Make a Cleaning Solution

Once you've blotted up the urine, you'll need to make a cleaning solution. There are a few different recipes that you can use, but one of the most effective is a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Another option that also neutralizes odors is to combine 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of dish soap. Whatever solution you choose, be sure to test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the couch first to make sure it doesn't damage the leather.

3. Apply the Cleaning Solution

Once you've made your cleaning solution, apply it to the affected area. Use a clean cloth or sponge to gently wipe the area in a circular motion. Be sure to work from the outside of the stain towards the center. This will help to prevent the stain from spreading.

4. Rinse the Area

Once you've cleaned the area, rinse it with clean water. Use a clean cloth or sponge to wipe away the cleaning solution. Be sure to rinse the area thoroughly to remove any residual cleaning solution or urine.

5. Dry the Area

Once you've rinsed the area, dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth or paper towels. You can also use a fan or hair dryer to speed up the drying process. Be sure to dry the area completely to prevent mold or mildew from growing.

6. Deodorize the Area (Optional)

If the area still smells like urine, you can try deodorizing it. There are a few different products that you can use, such as baking soda, commercial pet odor eliminators, or white vinegar. Sprinkle the deodorizer on the affected area and allow it to sit for several hours or overnight. Vacuum up the deodorizer and the odor should be gone.

If you follow these steps, you should be able to remove cat urine from your leather couch without damaging the leather. However, if the stain is large or old, you may need to contact a professional cleaner.
