My dog answered nature’s call on the sofa. How should I clean it?
That’s not a nice situation to be in but unfortunately if you find yourself in one, you can take the following steps.
Firstly, soak up as much urine as possible from the upholstery before you use any cleaning agent. Next, sprinkle some baking soda on the stain and let it sit for 5 minutes. The baking soda will work to deodorize the stain. In a spray bottle, mix equal parts of water and distilled white vinegar, and spray onto stain. Let dry.
