So the cat peed on your sofa. You mopped it
up as best as you could, you may have even used some cleaner
that you boought, or even used some homemade remedy or just a
regular cleaner...
But...
Your couch still smells. What to do? How to
get that cat urine odor out?
OK, so let's look at this from a practical
perspective. Obviously it is hard to clean the sofa because
rinsing it is not an easy job. You may dab on the surface with
a cleaner but what about the urine that soaked deeply into the
cushions?
There are 2 issues here.
You have not adequately cleaned the spots you are
aware of, and:
There are urine stains on places unknown to you.
Firstly you need to locate every stain. That is
best done by using a black light. A blacklight is a light
that will show organic material such as urine. blood
etc.
See here how you can find hidden
urine stains in your sofa using a
blacklight:
Finding every stain is really important not
only so that they can be cleaned and to remove the cat urine
smell, but also to eliminate the cat urine completely which
will reduce the chance of Kitty re-offending.
As long as there is even a trace of cat
urine smell remaining, your cat is likely to urinate on the
same spot again.

Next you need to use a cleaner that will do
more than just deodorizing the smell. You need an enzymatic
cleaner that will literally consume the dried particles of cat
urine. This is especially important when you want to get cat
urine odor out of a sofa or other piece of furniture.
We recommend Anti Icky Poo. It seem to be a
bit costly, but it is worth it.
With Anti Icky Poo you inject the product
into the couch following their directions. then.... you just
allow it to dry!
No rinsing needed. Anti Icky Poo contains
enzymes and bacteria that eats organic material found in urine.
Once the product has consumed the dried urine there is no more
smell and no more cat pee odor. That is how you get cat urine
odor out of a sofa.
Using the appropriate product to clean cat
or dog or pet urine is the key to your success, especially when
the cat urine odor has soaked into your sofa, bed, mattress or
other hard to clean upholstery.
We recommend the same technique for removing
dog urine stains from wool carpets.
