My 6 year old still wets the bed. Last night he slept on the couch and either didn't have a Pull-Up on (he typically does) or it leaked through. I sprayed Resolve on it and scrubbed it, but now it just smells like pee AND Resolve (neither are good). What do I try next?

Nature's Miracle. You can buy it at the pet store.

You need something with an enzyme in it--I've used Nature's Miracle with success. Good luck!

Look for carpet cleaner with specific properties to destroy urine. I have both Nature's Miracle and I think Resolve with the urine formula. Hope it works for you.

There was a product I used called Kids and Pets. I bought it at Wal-Mart. My son is almost 18, so this would have been 14-15 years ago though!

I use a steam cleaner on furniture and mattresses. Gets the smells out.

I will look for those, but is there anything I can do now? The smell of the Resolve is actually worse than the pee smell.

I've found that the products that work the best are the ones to remove pet odors from fabrics - I usually buy a natural version at our grocery store, but I'm in Canada so the brand won't help you. However, that type of product has never let me down. Good luck! ETA: Have you tried spreading a fairly thick layer of baking soda on the area where you sprayed the Resolve? Let it sit for a while and then vacuum off. I say this with caution however, as I don't know what type of fabric your couch is made of  |

I do have a carpet cleaner. Maybe I will try that.

I would try the Nature's Miracle but honestly if it were me, I'd get rid of the sofa. The thought of it skeeves me out.

I second the baking soda. Put that on it and vacuum it off. I can't imagine why it would stain, so I think it would be fine.

Try vinegar and water on the area. Then tomorrow I would buy one of those enzymatic cleaners.

I have a cat that decided to tinkle on a concrete (unsealed) floor. It happened at night and I didn't want to wait until the next morning so I googled to find a more immediate solution. The websites all said to use peroxide (you know, the stuff that bubbles when you put it on cuts?) and it worked like a charm.
Not too long after my nephew came to visit and did the same thing your son did so I thought I would try the same with the peroxide on my couch. I soaked the spot, let it dry and then did it again and it worked as well on the fabric and foam of the couch as it did on the floor.
If you google, you find various versions of the peroxide thing, and a lot of the sites said no vinegar because it had similar enzymes that urine does and won't work as well as the peroxide does. And the peroxide was a lot cheaper than the enzyme formulas you find at the store.

If it's just a cushion, I would get a new foam cut and just wash the fabric. If it's one long cushion stuck to the couch, I would probably get rid of the couch because I would always think I smell the pee. |

I'd use my little green machine, it's what I've always used for puke incidents and such.

Can you remove the cushion? I recently took a "pee" mattress out to the deck and sprayed it with the hose and then used laundry detergent to scrub it. I then rinsed it really well. It was a really hot day and it dried within 5 hours. Can't smell a thing.

Natures Miracle! Personally I hate the smell of it at first, makes me gag, but it dissipates and takes the pee with it. I have many cats, so I know pee, lol. We haven't had many pee incidences, but the few we have had- cat pee is AWFUL, but Natures Miracle really works!
Urine is sterile. If you thought about what is on any surface you'd never sit anywhere- getting rid of the couch is overkill, at least until kids are grown. Steam it and use Natures Miracle.

You would get rid of an expensive piece of furniture because of a little kid pee? OP, I would try the baking soda, the peroxide, and Nature's Miracle. Not all together, though. Not a chance that I would toss hundreds of dollars worth of furniture due to an accident that could possibly happen again. (((hugs))) OP. Accidents happen. |

I have the arm covers tucked away (never used them for their intended purpose) and use them to test out all the products that say 'test fabric before using.' So I knew going into it that it wouldn't harm the fabric. I think that the peroxide that you buy in the brown bottles isn't as strong as the bleaching peroxide though-like 1% vs 20ish%? so I am not sure that it would bleach out fabric, but I would definitely test it on an unobtrusive spot first. |

Those who do, know that I would get rid of a couch if it got peed on. People do crazy things all the time. This is my crazy. |

I wish I had enough money to get a new couch whenever something like this happened, but sadly that is not the case. |

I had never heard that before but it truly worked. And it's cheap. Peroxide is now my go-to for pet accidents. |

Another thing you could look for is AtmosKlear. I'm pretty sure Amazon sells it. It's another kind of odor eliminator that will take out the pee smell. We had neighbors at our old house and when they moved they asked if they could "put something in your garage can" because they had already cancelled their trash service. Yeah, they dumped their nasty CAT BOX into the can without bagging it first, and it smelled awful for months and months. We tried baking soda, vinegar, various cleaners, Febreze. Nothing worked. I finally couldn't take it anymore and tracked down and bought some AtmosKlear and hosed down the inside of the can with it. Took the smell right out, and I'm not exaggerating, it stunk for months and nothing else got the stink out.

Oh, one other thing. You should look to see if your couch has a label on it with cleaning instructions. We had a nice Thomasville couch that the former owners of our new house left for us. One of our dogs got it dirty and when I looked up the cleaning code online it said, "Can not be cleaned with water or water based products." Great, just great. Since it was just some dirt and dog hair, I wiped at the spot with baby wipes until it came out, but if it would have been anything worse or a bigger spot we would have had to have a company come in with dry cleaning stuff to clean it.  Now I have machine washable couch covers on all of the furniture... |
