How to remove pee smell from sofas and rugs. We will pass on 3 fundamental tips for you to be successful in removing bad odors and stains caused by urine.
We know how much urine smells on carpets or sofas. The odor is impregnated, contaminates the environment and takes a long time to leave. It is a real headache for housewives or hygiene professionals, who also suffer from this problem. But how to solve it definitively? Forget homemade solutions with vinegar, baking soda. In addition to not working, they further hinder hygiene in the proper way. The problem of urine odor worsens.
For a perfect and adequate process, here are the 3 fundamental tips that will guarantee the perfect removal of stains and bad odors:
1 - Identify the affected location.
The identification of the affected site is important. Often, by not identifying the place where the urine penetrates, the cleaning process begins, which ends up spreading the residues in areas that had not been affected. This adds to the problem and makes removal even more difficult. The first thing to do is to try to completely remove the urine. For this there are 3 options, depending on the material you have. You can use any of the alternatives below:
- Extractor: use the extractor with water only and suck the urine as much as possible, spraying water to dilute dry residues. Do it until you notice that there is no residue on the fabric.
- Vacuum cleaner and liquids: try to draw as much urine as possible. If it is dry, spray clean water only on the spot to dilute the dry residues and continue vacuuming, moistening and pulling. Do this until the urine is completely removed.
- Use damp cloths. Pass the cloth to absorb and suck some of the urine. Repeat the procedure changing the cloths frequently, until you notice that there is no more residue.
2 - Chemical action:
After removing the urine, we are ready to begin the cleaning process. It is essential to use a bactericidal product that also has an odor-blocking action. The perfect indication is ZBAC, which is a cleanser with easy-to-use bactericidal action, with an odor-blocking action. Dilute 1: 5 with clean water and spray the area contaminated with urine. 
Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes at least. You can do a light scrub to help the product penetrate deeper areas of the foam or tissue, where there may be urine residue. After the time of action of the product, go back to topic 1 and choose one of the ways to remove the excess product, depending on the tools you have. If it is cat urine or dry urine, I recommend repeating this process 2 to 3x.
3 - Wait for drying. After completing the procedure, as a guarantee, dilute the ZBAC 1:10 and spray a small mist over the area you just cleaned. As ZBAC has an odor-blocking action, it will immediately help to combat the bad odor of urine.
4 - If after the procedure the smell persists, it is certain that there is still a trace of urine in your piece. This is a sign that the first step, waste removal, was not done well. Dry urine residues need to be thoroughly moistened to dilute and loosen. The use of suckers such as Extractors and Vacuum Cleaners helps a lot, but the vacuum itself needs a little help from a sprinkler with water. If the smell returns, repeat the process. But this time, take more care in removing the residue.
I hope these tips help you!
