how to clean pee off sofa cushion

[DelGideon]

Oh no, accidents happen, but don't worry! Cleaning pee from a sofa cushion is totally manageable if you act quickly.

First things first, you'll want to blot the area immediately with paper towels. Press down firmly to soak up as much of the liquid as you can, but try not to rub, as that can push the urine deeper into the fabric.

Next, you can create a simple but effective cleaning solution. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. The vinegar is great because it helps to neutralize the ammonia in the urine, which is the source of that strong smell. Lightly spray the affected area with this mixture.

After you've sprayed the vinegar solution, generously sprinkle baking soda over the entire damp spot. The baking soda will work to absorb the remaining moisture and any lingering odors. You'll see it start to work its magic. Just leave it on the cushion for a few hours, or until it's completely dry to the touch.

Once everything is dry, all you have to do is vacuum up all the baking soda residue. For stubborn pet urine smells, you might also consider using a commercial enzyme cleaner, as these products are designed specifically to break down the proteins in urine. No matter what you use, it's always a good idea to test any cleaning solution on a small, hidden spot of your sofa first to make sure it doesn't cause any discoloration.
