Upholstery cleaning in the ACT

If you need to clean up cat pee, get a dog to piss on the same spot.

The intermingling of differing species urine neutralises the odor

I had a similar problem with my cat when we moved house. She’s a nervous little thing.

We used a spray on product called urine-off. You can buy it from any pet shop or vet (around $30). They also market a black light which is supposed to find the stains. Worked a treat, and we still have the same lounge suite with no issues or comments from visitors.

It uses an enzyme that removes the odour which is really important, because if you don’t cats will just keep weeing in the same spot.

Make sure you keep it out of sight though as visitors tend to ask strange questions when they see the bottle 🙂

What is a rescue cat? Did you mean rescued cat?

When you’re a male, the world is your urinal.

Hi guys. Thank you all so much for your comments. Unfortunately the cushions cannot be removed from the lounge and I could not find the actual spot 🙁
However, my weekend was spent lovingly wiping everything down with the suggested vinegar solution. Yes my house now smells of vinegar but that is preferable to cat wee anyday!
The little troublemaker has found a new home, and yes, I told the new owner to which she merely replied “all males have issues with weeing in the right spot”. Nothing like a sense of humour!
So thank you all for your advice. Greatly appreciated.

When my four year old boy fell asleep on the lounge and SATURATED the couch cushions, I took the covers off and washed them.
Then I took the foam inner cushion outside and put them on clean concrete; made up a bucket of sunlight soap and hot water (‘spose any fabric detergent would work just as well, really), and poured it over the cushions and trampled until sudsy.
You know, like grape pickers do to the grapes in those cool old tubs.
When you have turned the cushion over and trampled some more, bucket more cold water over until passably rinsed.
Roll foam inner cushion up to squeeze water out, then place across the lines of the clothesline to dry – if you hang the cushion from the line it might tear.
You might have to give it a couple of days to dry – try to remember to bring it inside at night.

Wash the area with woolwash and white vinegar mixed together, when dry use VAC for spray from coles to get rid of smell.

This should do the trick

For a really cheap lounge – I would just give up. The smell will go eventually, but it will takes months and months to wear off.

You can pour white vinegar all over the spot, but that is better when the mark is still wet I think. You can also get a product called Urinoff from vets. It works quite well, but in a lounge, if the cat weed right through it, you won’t reach it all.

I’d pour vinegar all over it and put it out in the sun or in front of a really sunny window for about 2 weeks, and consider getting a new lounge once the cat is gone or trained.

” Blot stain with a paper towel and sponge with cold water. Blot away any excess moisture and clean the area with a solution made with two cups warm water and one tablespoon vinegar. Apply a stain and odor remover that is a bacterial/enzyme cleaner.”

from a five second google search – they also recommend a product called ‘bio-zet’, which supermarkets should have. canesten make a good anti-bacterial cleaner we use as the final clothes washing rinse when thrush is at large, should do the trick.
