Urine stain and odour removal

Urine can saturate absorbent materials such as carpet, upholstery and fabric covered furniture well beyond the surface area that can effectively be cleaned. It is extremely difficult to remove all of the urine from inside of a mattress or cushion, thereby creating ideal conditions for bacteria and mould growth (and thus malodours). However, you might not be ready to throw your mattress or sofa away just yet, so here are a few things you can do to eliminate the odour.

First, blot up as much of the urine as possible with an absorbent white cloth. Next, you have two options: 1) Baking soda works well to eliminate surface (but not deeply penetrated) odours. Dampen the area with clean water and then sprinkle baking soda over it. Rub the baking soda into the soiled area and let dry; brush or vacuum to remove the dry material.
