How to remove pet Urine Stains from Couch
23 June, 2021 |
Urine stains are the worst because you never know when you're going to get one. Keeping the sofa clean of urine may be a real struggle, whether it's due to your favorite dog leaving a "pleasant surprise," your cat marking its territory, or your kid having an accident. It's not only about looks; it's also about extending the life of the object. Finding the correct therapy is critical, since it may save you a lot of time, effort, and money in the long run.
Why is urine stain so tough to clean?
It's difficult to say whether the liquid's tenacity or the odor is worse, but we can all agree that cleaning urine stains is a misery. Despite the fact that urine is primarily water (91-96 percent), there are a number of additional components that contribute to its unique characteristics, the amount of which varies depending on whether it is human or animal pee.
Uric acid is present in all types of urine and is the primary reason that cleaning pee from upholstery is so difficult. While other components can be dissolved in water, uric acid transforms into invisible crystals that are not only difficult to remove from fabric but also react with it, altering its color over time.
Treatment to remove Urine Stain
Step 1 - Remove the problematic cushion from the rest of the couch (if possible).
Step 2 - If the stain is fresh, blot it as much as possible using a paper towel or old rag. Some study shows that the dirty towels are positive reinforcement for your pet.
Step 3 - Before starting, you should always check every cleaning product in a secret area of your sofa fabric.
Step 4 - Mix vinegar and water in a sprinkling bottle with 1:3 parts and sprinkle onto the discoloration generously. Before letting dry, scrub gently. Note that the vinegar/water solution needs to be re-wetted with the dried stem. Due to its disinfectant characteristics, Vinegar works effectively during this stage.
Step 5 - Sprinkle Bi-Carb Soda on the stain after it has dried to help eliminate odors. Before vacuuming, you should leave the Bi-Carb on for a few hours.
This will remove most of the discoloration and alleviate the odor. It will not, however, remove all of the discoloration, which is why an enzymatic cleaning is required.
