We all love our furry friends, but sometimes they can leave behind unpleasant odors. If your pet has had an accident on your couch, don't despair. Here are some tips on how to get the smell out.

How to Get Pet Pee Smell Out of Couch

Blot Up the Pee

The first step is to blot up as much of the pee as possible. Use a clean, dry cloth or paper towels to gently press on the stain. Don't rub, as this will only spread the stain and make it harder to remove.

Rinse the Area

Once you've blotted up the pee, rinse the area with cold water. Use a spray bottle or a cup of water to saturate the stain. Don't use hot water, as this can set the stain and make it more difficult to remove.

Use a Cleaning Solution

Next, you'll need to use a cleaning solution to remove the stain and odor. You can use a commercial pet stain remover or make your own solution using household ingredients. Some common homemade cleaning solutions include:

  • A mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water
  • A mixture of baking soda and water
  • A mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water

Apply the cleaning solution to the stain and let it sit for the amount of time specified on the product label. Once the time is up, blot up the solution with a clean, dry cloth.

Rinse the Area Again

Once you've blotted up the cleaning solution, rinse the area again with cold water. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any remaining cleaning solution.

Air Dry the Couch

The final step is to air dry the couch. Open the windows and doors to allow the air to circulate. You can also use a fan to speed up the drying process.

Once the couch is dry, the stain and odor should be gone. If the stain or odor persists, you may need to repeat the cleaning process.

Additional Tips

  • If the stain is fresh, you may be able to remove it by simply blotting it up with a clean, dry cloth.
  • If the stain is old, you may need to use a stronger cleaning solution, such as a commercial pet stain remover.
  • Be sure to test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the couch before using it on the stain.
  • If you're not sure how to remove the stain, you can always call a professional carpet cleaner.
