My nephew had an accident on my couch last night. The couch is cloth fabric almost khaki-like fabric. Any suggestions on how I can get whatever urine stain forms out when I get home tonight and before the guests come over tomorrow for Thanksgiving! Thanks for any help.

Hi
You will need to do a test on the fabric to see if you can clean it. Be careful with what product you uses. I would use “Nature's Miracle” this is a liquid containing enzymes that feed on the organisms that give urine its odours. You can buy it at Petsmart.
First you will need to do is a test. To do the test spray the cleaner, using the back edge of the cushion spray a spot about the size of a quarter and wipe it with a white towel and let it dry on it’s own.
If you get colour transfer onto the towel it is not safe to clean.
If there is no change in colour and no watermark then it is safe to clean or spot clean.
If there is a watermark but no colour change it is safe to clean only thing is you will need to clean the whole thing. (to stop watermarks) you can not spot clean.
If you decide to clean it DO NOT do a lot of scrubbing on the fabric because you can cause damage to the fabric.
If you decide to spot clean only you can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying (less chance of leaving a watermark).
If you clean the whole sofa you are probably best to set up a fan to help dry the sofa.
Hope this helps

Go to the pet store or regular store and get urine be gone. It does work. I am assuming you blotted it and cleaned as much as possible.

vinegar about a cup, 2 tablespoons of baking soda ( not powder) and 1 teaspoon of dish detergent. IT WORKS!!! I have done this over and over again on beds, floors and sofas. works a miracle.
