Tackling Stains and Odors So, you’ve just discovered that your beloved four-legged friend has left an unwelcome surprise on your upholstered sofa, chaise lounge, or club chair. It’s disheartening, but fear not. Armed with a few effective techniques, you can bring your couch back to its former glory.
Absorb the Liquid. For liquid accidents, start by blotting up as much of the liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can damage the fabric fibers. Instead, use a clean cloth to blot the mess and then place a towel over the area to absorb any remaining liquid. This will help reduce odors and make the stain removal process easier later on.
Air Out the Cushions. After removing the liquid, take out any removable parts of your sofa, including cushion inserts, and let them air out. You can also use a vacuum to freshen up the upholstery and eliminate any lingering odors.
Spot Clean or Wash. Before applying any cleaning solutions to your sofa, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. If permitted, use a detergent or upholstery cleanser specifically designed for this purpose. Gently dab the stained area with the solution, rinsing with water as needed. Baking soda and pet-specific enzymatic cleaners can also be effective stain removers. Avoid steam cleaning, as the heat can set the stains.
Neutralize Odors. Baking soda is a valuable ally in removing stains and odors. Leave it on the affected area for a few hours or overnight, depending on the intensity of the smell, and then vacuum it up. Alternatively, you can use an enzymatic spray formulated to tackle pet messes and naturally eliminate odors. Vinegar, if safe for your fabric, can also help neutralize strong smells.
