How To Get A Pee Smell Out Of A Couch

If you've ever had the unfortunate experience of getting pee on your couch, you know how difficult it can be to get the smell out. Urine is made up of uric acid, which is a strong-smelling chemical that can linger in fabrics for days. But don't despair, there are a few things you can do to get rid of the pee smell and make your couch smell fresh again.

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

Once you've blotted up the urine, it's time to treat the stain. There are a few different methods you can use, depending on the type of fabric your couch is made of.

For upholstered couches:

Mix one part white vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle.
Spray the solution onto the stain and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
Blot up the solution with a clean cloth.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stain is gone.

For leather couches:

Mix one part rubbing alcohol with one part water in a spray bottle.
Spray the solution onto the stain and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
Wipe the stain with a clean cloth.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stain is gone.

For suede couches:

Sprinkle baking soda on the stain and allow it to sit for several hours.
Vacuum up the baking soda.
Brush the stain with a soft brush.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stain is gone.

Once you've treated the stain, it's important to air out your couch. This will help to remove any lingering odors. Open your windows and doors and let the fresh air circulate. You can also use a fan to help circulate the air.

If you've tried all of the above methods and the pee smell is still lingering, you may need to call in a professional upholstery cleaner. They will have the equipment and expertise to remove the smell for good.
