How To Clean Urine Off A Couch

Urine is a common household stain, and it can be a challenge to remove from furniture. Urine contains uric acid, which can crystallize and become difficult to dissolve. If you have a urine stain on your couch, it is important to clean it up as soon as possible to prevent it from setting.

Here are some tips on how to clean urine off a couch:

Blot up the urine. Use a clean cloth or paper towels to blot up as much of the urine as possible. Do not rub the stain, as this will only spread it around. Be careful not to press too hard, as this could damage the fabric.
Mix a cleaning solution. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 cup of water. You can also add a few drops of essential oil, such as tea tree oil or lavender oil, to help deodorize the stain.
Apply the cleaning solution to the stain. Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the cleaning solution and apply it to the stain. Allow the solution to sit on the stain for 5-10 minutes.
