How to Clean Leather and Remove Dog Urine Odor and Stains
Did your precious Fido leave a nasty urine stain on your expensive leather sofa? Before freaking out, know that there are some methods that can get your piece of furniture looking like new, and you can love your dog once again. Follow these steps below to gain some peace of mind.
Step 1: If possible, remove the stained cushion and take out the stuffing from it. Using a mild detergent and soap solution, wash the area that has been stained after absorbing the urine with water and a cloth or sponge.
Step 2: After you are finished cleaning the stained area, polish the area with a dry cloth.
Step 3: If you still see the stain after the drying is complete, repeat steps 1 and 2. If this still does not work, consult a professional cleaner for advice.
Step 4: Make amends with your dog who had the accident. After all, he’s a dog and chances are he did not know he was doing any wrong.
Tips
- Do not use too much water on the stained leather because moisture tends to make leather shrink.
- Consult any materials received with your furniture regarding cleaning instructions to make sure your method is safe.
