You have the power to reclaim your sofa and make it a haven again. So roll up your sleeves, and let’s talk about how to eradicate that stubborn pee smell!
Gather Your Supplies
First things first, you’ll need your trusty cleaning arsenal. You don’t need an advanced science degree for this, just a few basic supplies:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Water
- Dish soap
- Spray bottle
- Soft cloths or paper towels
- A vacuum (if you can find it under all the fur)
When you have everything on hand, it’s time to tackle that couch like the cleaning warrior you are!
Blot, Don’t Rub
Got an old towel or cloth? Great! Start by blotting the area with a soft cloth to absorb as much of the urine as possible. And by โblot,โ I mean pat it gently. Rubbing will only push the pee deeper into the fabric, like you’re trying to hide your mistake. We don’t want that! ๐ฆ

Spray and Wait
Now, spray your cleaning mixture generously over the affected area of your couch. Don’t drown itโjust enough to soak the fabric. In your head, you can pretend you’re giving your couch a spa treatment. Just remember: let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes. This gives the solution time to work its magic.
Baking Soda to the Rescue
Once the time is up, sprinkle baking soda over the damp area. Baking soda is like that friend who always brings snacks to a party; it absorbs odors and keeps the vibe fresh. Allow it to sit for a few hours (or overnight, if you can resist the couch). Then vacuum it up. Boom! Say goodbye to that nasty smell!
Repeat if Necessary
Did you manage to miss some spots? It happens to the best of us. If the scent lingers like an ex who won’t leave the party, simply repeat the process. Persistence is key! You’ll eventually win this battle. โ๏ธ

Conclusion: Never Lose Hope!
As you can see, cleaning that dog pee smell out of your couch isn’t rocket science. With a bit of tactical approach, you can restore your sofa to its former glory. Just remember: accidents happen. Embrace your inner cleaning ninja, and before you know it, your couch will be back in action. So, you think you can handle your couch-cleaning mission? You’ve got this! ๐พ๐
