How To Get Pee Smell Out Of Couch

Nobody likes the smell of pee and discovering that your couch has been stained with urine is a really disappointing experience. It's a common problem, but it doesn't have to be a permanent one. Here are some of the most effective methods for removing urine smells from your sofa:

For fresh stains:

Blot up as much of the urine as possible with a clean towel. Don't rub, as this will only spread the stain. If the stain is still wet, you can try to soak up some of the moisture with a vacuum cleaner. Sprinkle the area with baking soda and let it sit for several hours or overnight. Vacuum up the baking soda and then wipe the area with a damp cloth.

For older stains:

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl. Dip a clean cloth in the solution and blot the stain. Allow the solution to sit on the stain for several minutes, then blot it up with a clean cloth. Rinse the area with a damp cloth and then dry it with a clean towel.

If the stain is still visible:

You can try using a commercial pet stain remover. Be sure to test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area of the couch first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric. Follow the instructions on the cleaner and then rinse the area with a damp cloth.

If the smell is still lingering:

You can try using an enzymatic cleaner. These cleaners contain enzymes that break down the uric acid in urine, which is what causes the smell. Follow the instructions on the cleaner and then rinse the area with a damp cloth.

Here are some additional tips for removing urine smell from your couch:

If possible, open windows and doors to air out the room.
Use a fan to circulate the air and help dry the couch.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric of your couch.
If the stain is large or particularly stubborn, you may need to call a professional cleaner.
