How To Clean Dog Pee Out Of A Couch

Spills and accidents are inevitable when you share your home with a furry friend. Dog pee is one of the most common household messes, and it can be especially frustrating to clean out of a couch. The key to successfully cleaning dog pee out of a couch is to act quickly and use the right products.

Step 1: Blot Up the Pee

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

Step 2: Apply an Enzyme Cleaner

Once you have blotted up the pee, it's time to apply an enzyme cleaner. Enzyme cleaners contain live bacteria that break down the uric acid crystals in dog pee, which are what cause the smell. Apply the cleaner to the affected area and let it sit for the amount of time specified on the product label.

Step 3: Blot Again

After the enzyme cleaner has had time to work, blot the area again with a clean, dry cloth or paper towels. This will help to remove any remaining cleaner and pee.

Step 4: Rinse the Area

Once the area has been blotted, rinse it with clean water. Use a damp cloth or sponge to apply the water, and then blot the area again to remove any excess moisture.

Step 5: Dry the Area

The final step is to dry the area completely. You can do this by using a hair dryer on a low setting or by placing a fan in front of the couch.

Additional Tips

* If the pee has soaked into the cushions, you may need to remove the cushions and clean them separately. * If the pee is old or has dried, it may be more difficult to clean. You may need to use a stronger enzyme cleaner or repeat the cleaning process several times. * If you have a fabric couch, you may need to test the enzyme cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not damage the fabric.
