Accidents happen, even with the most well-behaved pets. If your furry friend has had an accident on your couch, don't despair. With a little elbow grease and the right cleaning supplies, you can remove the urine stain and smell from your furniture.

How to Get Pet Urine Out of Couch

Blot Up the Urine

1. As soon as possible, blot up as much of the urine as possible with a clean, dry cloth or paper towels. Don't rub the urine into the couch, as this will spread the stain and make it more difficult to remove.

2. Continue blotting until the cloth or paper towels are no longer absorbing any urine.

Make a Cleaning Solution

1. In a spray bottle, mix one cup of white vinegar with one cup of water. You can also add a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender or lemon, to help mask the smell of the urine.

2. Shake the bottle well to mix the solution.

Apply the Cleaning Solution

1. Spray the cleaning solution onto the urine stain. Be sure to soak the stain thoroughly.

2. Allow the solution to sit for 15-20 minutes.

Blot Up the Cleaning Solution

1. Blot up the cleaning solution with a clean, dry cloth or paper towels.

2. Rinse the area with cold water and blot it dry.

Repeat Steps 3 and 4 if Necessary

1. If the stain is still visible or the smell is still strong, repeat steps 3 and 4.

2. You may need to do this several times to completely remove the stain and smell.

Deodorize the Area

1. Once the stain and smell are gone, deodorize the area to prevent your pet from urinating there again.

2. You can use a commercial pet deodorizer or make your own by mixing one part white vinegar with two parts water.

3. Spray the deodorizer onto the area and allow it to dry.
