Pet urine can leave a strong, unpleasant odor on your couch. If you have a pet that has had an accident on your furniture, don't despair. There are several methods you can try to get rid of the smell.

How to Get Rid of Pet Urine Smell on Couch

Blot Up the Urine

1. As soon as you notice the urine, blot it up with a clean cloth or paper towels.

2. Don't rub the urine, as this will only spread it around and make it harder to remove.

Rinse the Area

1. After you've blotted up the urine, rinse the area with water.

2. Use a spray bottle or a cup of water to gently rinse the area.

Apply a Cleaning Solution

1. Once the area is rinsed, apply a cleaning solution to the stain.

2. You can use a commercial pet urine cleaner or a homemade solution.

3. To make a homemade solution, mix equal parts white vinegar and water.

Blot the Area Again

1. After you've applied the cleaning solution, blot the area again with a clean cloth or paper towels.

2. Continue blotting until the cleaning solution is no longer visible.

Dry the Area

1. Once the area is blotted dry, allow it to air dry completely.

2. Do not use a hairdryer or other heat source to dry the area, as this can damage the fabric.
