How To Get Rid Of Pee Smell On Couch

If you have a pet, then you know that accidents happen. And one of the most common accidents is when your pet pees on the couch. If this happens, don't panic! There are a few simple steps you can take to get rid of the pee smell and clean your couch.

1. Blot up the pee. The first thing you need to do is blot up as much of the pee as possible. Use a clean cloth or paper towels to absorb the liquid. Do not rub, as this will only spread the pee around.

2. Make a cleaning solution. Once you have blotted up the pee, you need to make a cleaning solution to remove the smell. There are a few different solutions you can make, depending on what you have on hand.

- White vinegar and water: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. This solution is effective at removing both the smell and the stain of the pee.

- Hydrogen peroxide and water: Mix one part 3% hydrogen peroxide with two parts water in a spray bottle. This solution is also effective at removing both the smell and the stain of the pee. However, it is important to note that hydrogen peroxide can bleach some fabrics, so test it on a small area before using it on the entire couch.

- Enzymatic cleaner: Enzymatic cleaners are specifically designed to break down the proteins in pet urine. This makes them very effective at removing both the smell and the stain of the pee. You can find enzymatic cleaners at most pet stores.

3. Apply the cleaning solution. Once you have made your cleaning solution, apply it to the area of the couch where the pee is. Be sure to soak the area thoroughly. Allow the solution to sit for 5-10 minutes.

4. Blot up the solution. After the solution has sat for 5-10 minutes, blot it up with a clean cloth or paper towels. Do not rub, as this will only spread the solution around.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 if necessary. If the smell of the pee is still strong, you may need to repeat steps 3 and 4. Be sure to allow the solution to sit for longer this time, up to 30 minutes.

6. Rinse the area. Once the smell of the pee is gone, you need to rinse the area with clean water. Use a clean cloth or sponge to apply the water, and then blot it up with a dry cloth.

7. Allow the area to dry. Once the area has been rinsed, allow it to dry completely. This may take several hours or even overnight.

By following these steps, you can get rid of the pee smell on your couch and clean it so that it looks like new again.
