Natural Deodorisers for interior

Hi,
Please tell me if you’ve got any tricks to remove smell of urine from a sofa cushion. Youngest had an accident about two weeks ago, I’ve thoroughly cleaned the cover and sofa foam cushion using industrial amounts of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda but I can still smell urine (and vinegar!). I diluted hydrogen peroxide too but that has not done the trick either.
I’ll try anything before dumping the sofa! Any ideas please?
Thanks.
John.

Well I have struggled with this when Ollie started on water tabs and steroids - searched the internet etc.
Vet mentioned baking powder (soda) dry and rub in leave then hoover, thinking it was floor related urine, I found mention the lemon neutralizes urine so started adding juice to sponge to clean. I never went the baking powder or lemon mixed as somewhere the chemistry knowledge has left me :005:
It is one of those things that when it gets up your nose it is a horror to get rid of.
I would spray with lemon water mix and take advantage of the nice weather and dry out in the fresh air, I would also leave the inner out in the fresh air and maybe in the garage overnight for a couple of days, the embedded smell I think will be on the inner cushion more than the cover.
There is a lemon anti-bac spray in Asda I got ages ago by Astonish used it to spray around if the smell lingered.
John my Ollie is over 14 and now he wears a disposable pad to catch any incidents ( poor lad dripples while he walks to go outside for a few hours after his water tablet :luv: - so this saves me the problem a bit plus at night time he also wears one.
Do hope this helps

Hi Julie,
Thanks for helping. I really feel for you and Ollie as it can’t be easy trying to stay on top of leaks, 14 is a cracking age!
You’re right about once a smell gets up your nose, to be honest I don’t know whether the vinegar smell is worse but I’ll never use it in the house again!
I’ve just mixed up a litre of anti-bac, lemon, bicarb and water and will spray the cushion and leave it in the sun. I’ve ordered Minstrel disinfectant too so will try that when it arrives.
On top of this both pups have rolled in fox poo and traipsed through the house. We’ve got friends coming for dinner tonight. The whole house stinks, this is my first experience of fox poo.
Both pups need to be bathed now then I think I’ll open a bottle!
The bicarb is handy, I buy it in 10kg tubs.
John.

I seem to remember reading once, possibly on here (?) that a good way of getting rid of the smell of fox poo is tomato ketchup :shades: !!!
