Did your pet pee on the couch? A lot of people ask if it is possible to protect sofa from pee from animals. Dog and cat is all good, isn't it? These pets are part of modern families, with super privileges: balanced food, visits to Pet and access to the rooms of the house. And dogs and cats have their preferences: sofas, armchairs and mattresses. And as you can imagine, dogs and cats end up “marking territory” by peeing, which in addition to staining leaves a horrible smell in the environment. But how to avoid this? 

The first step

Assess whether there is urine on the sofa, armchair or mattress. If there is, it is essential that it is removed and that there is no odor. If there is a smell, the animal will continue to urinate to keep the place marked, preventing another visitor from keeping him company. For this, here is a tip for you: try to put paper towels or toilet paper so that the apparent urine is absorbed as much as possible.

Afterwards, use a damp cloth with clean water and wipe, alternating with the application of a paper towel to absorb the maximum humidity. Repeat as many times as necessary. Afterwards, you can use a product called ZBAC, which eliminates mites and bacteria and has the power to neutralize odors.

You can dilute the product and apply to the area, removing it after 10 minutes. Then moisten a cloth with water and wipe the area to ensure that the entire product is removed. You can repeat the procedure if you think it is necessary. So you will completely remove the odor and be ready for the next part: PROTECT the sofa.

Securing the sofa

To protect the sofa against dog and cat pee you must use a suitable fabric waterproofer. The urine has a neutral PH, however the temperature of the liquid and the pressure of the jet are critical points: if the tissue is not protected, the urine will pass the waterproofing barrier and will penetrate.

The most suitable product for the protection of animal urine tissues is Ecotextil Premium. Ecotextil already has thermo-resistant protection, does not suffer from the action of liquids up to 100º. The most concentrated version, Premium, has more resistance to impacts being more efficient for sofas and armchairs that can receive dog or cat pee for its use. How Ecotextil it is not toxic, it can be applied without fear of future problems with your pet.
