Find And Get Rid Of Pet Urine From Sofas And Upholstery

This article addresses how to get rid of the nasty smell of dog and other pets urine that is on and in your sofas and upholstery

. When you find urine, it is important to do these initial steps to get rid of not just the stain but also the eventual odor if not cleaned fast enough. When you see the pet urine stains this may just be the surface stain. The urine depending on where it was deposited will travel through the fabric and into the batting. Often times a pet will pee on the same spot several times making it harder to clean and if not cleaned can ruin your upholstery.

Here are the steps to detect and get rid of the urine odors and stains in your upholstery. First go out and buy a black light which you can get at any larger pet supply store. When you get home turn on the black light and hover it over your furniture and the urine stains will show up. The darker you have the room the better so that you can accurately see where any and all the urine stains are located. Remember to also look under the cushions as well. You can mark the spot with a piece of chalk by drawing an outline around the urine stains.

After you have circled all the areas on the upholstery that have urine stains using white chalk

The next step if you plan on cleaning your upholstery yourself is to rent a carpet steam cleaning machine with an upholstery attachment. Professional carpet cleaning companies use acidic solution urine stain removers. You can use vinegar. This breaks down the salts and helps remove the stain. Use one cup white vinegar with every gallon of water you use. Using the rental steam cleaner extract as much of the urine as possible. My suggestion would be to use a spray bottle to spray the vinegar water solution onto the stain areas so that you don"t use too much vinegar and water, and the use the machine to extract it out. That way you won"t push the urine deeper by over wetting without extracting it out. If you feel that you would prefer a professional upholstery company to do this it may be a good idea to make sure the job gets done right and all the stains and underlying bacteria gets eliminated the first time. Make sure you get multiple quotes to find the right expert in your area for this type of cleanup.
