Hello there! While the provided search results didn't offer specific instructions, I can certainly help you with that pesky urine smell on your sofa cushion. Dealing with this is never fun, but with the right approach, you can get your cushion smelling fresh again.
The most important first step, if the accident just happened, is to act quickly. Grab some paper towels or a clean, dry cloth and blot the area firmly. The goal is to absorb as much of the liquid as you can. Try to press straight down rather than rubbing, as rubbing can spread the urine and push it deeper into the cushion.
For tackling the smell, your best bet is an enzymatic cleaner, which you can find at most pet supply stores. These cleaners are specifically designed to break down the uric acid crystals in urine, which are the source of the persistent odor. A simple soap or detergent won't do this. Follow the product's instructions, but you'll generally want to saturate the affected area completely so the cleaner can reach all the urine. Let it sit for the recommended time, then blot it dry.
If you need a solution right away and don't have an enzymatic cleaner, you can use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. The vinegar helps to neutralize the ammonia in the urine. Spray the solution on the spot, let it soak for about 10-15 minutes, and then blot it thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Once the cushion is completely dry, you can sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda over the area. Let it sit for a few hours, or even overnight, to absorb any lingering odors. Afterward, you can simply vacuum it all up. Before you start, it's always a good idea to spot-test any cleaning solution on a small, hidden part of the cushion to ensure it doesn't cause any discoloration.
